I think webmin does handle the configuration side of things (well, more or less. I can't really comment on it as I don't use it.) So if there would be a package installation webmin plugin, that would handle package installations (and automatically add webmin-... plugin, too), the missing link would be that the user has to know to install webmin-serversuperduperwizard and start a web browser to get the wizard.[1] I see there is webmin-software - perhaps this already does parts of this? Just a random ideaon hitting my brain cell. cheers -- vbi [1] at the point where tasksel/dselect is offered, offer this too and automatically start a session in a w3m/links/whatever window? (Except that webmin is probably not exactly textmode-browser-friendly...) -- Money isn't everything -- but it's a long way ahead of what comes next. -- Sir Edmond Stockdale
