Hi,
Very nice!
If you plan on making this the official installer, I would strongly
advice against replacing the old installer completely untill "netinst"
images are provided. With "netboot" or "bussinesscard" builds, install
process can break due to external changes in the archive, which seems
highly undesireable.
OTOH netinst is self-contained, and can even install without a network
connection.
