What I want is an installation program which uses GGI and not curses.
It supposed to be very easy to use, so I can't ask people to configure
GGI if they don't know anything about Linux yet.
In other words: I want a GGI ready to use out of the box, it detects
your system and configure it.
I know GGI can't do it now, but this project will take a long time...
I don't think GGI is ready to be used in an installation program, but
I would like to start to develop now.

Yes? I am very interested in it, where can I find it? Even I mailed to
Boris Nagels to ask him about a libggi svgagui, but he didn't answer
me...
