I like this.

The design could be quite difficult as it probably will
need to run in a number of environments (X11 and not, for instance), and
could allow for various multimedia presentations during the
installation - sound, flash, html, as well as text, come to mind.

There needs to be a non-interactive switch, a quiet switch, and a
dummy-run switch too.

How to handle upgrades?  The discussions on PM's have been interesting,
I favour using an existing PM, but other than that, I'm easy.

Lots of issues.  But fun to work on.
