Hi all, Does there exist a sort of umbrella installation mechanism that could take care of the specific ways of installing various software distribution mechanisms. I mean if the software is a tar file it should extract it, and then provide me with a dialog box for configure script flags and execute make and make install. Or for rpms it should execut the command rpm with appropriate flags. If it does not exist do you think there is any merit in trying to build one?? I know its just a gui for certain commands but if it helps non-programmer users why not?? -- Puneet
