Re: Graphical Linux installer under GPL

[Vince Veselosky <vince@control-escape.com>]

Caldera has already written a very nice graphical installer for their
OpenLinux 2.2. I don't know what the license is on it, but if I have
time I'll check on that. You might want to browse their site, I'm sure
it would be much quicker to start with Caldera's if that is possible.
They also have a very nice and friendly GUI interface to fdisk in the
install.
