Hiya I notice that DragonFlyBSD has made some progress on their NG installer. There's some information about its design here: http://freebsd0.sitetronics.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/tissue/docs/dfui/dfui.html?rev=1.1&content-type=text/html and some code here: http://freebsd0.sitetronics.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/tissue/ Using or building on an existing UI abstraction would save a lot of work. The Linux installers I've looked at seem to use separate code for each type of front-end (eg. console, gui), but having a common API would have advantages. The only other abstract gui I'm aware of is PicoGUI, but it looks like the project has been abandoned by its author. Cheers, -- Jon
