At my work, we've tar-ed up a client installation and unpack it under /opt/ . If you're clear about the nature of the intrusive edits you make to /etc/ stuff in the package description, the installer will be useful to many. Imho it will even be useful _before_ you're finished doing everything as it should be done, with debconf and stuff. Bye, Joost
