osFree distribution (draft I)

  • osFree must use WarpIN as a package manager, with some enhancements
  • support for repositories?
  • response-file-driven installation:
    1. response-file can be created manually
    2. response-file can be created by UI (VIO or PM-based)
  • so, installer must be divided into two separate parts:
    1. UI for choosing user options interactively, it can be:
      • textmode UI with pseudographics
      • graphical, PM-based
    2. installation engine, based on WarpIN with plugins.
      • it can be started by an experienced user, system administrator, or by the installation UI.
  • also, DOS (DPMI)-based version of the installation engine and UI would be desired
  • a Linux- or Win32-based version (?)
