Re: Installation of Redhat without a sighted assistance

I think something as close as possible to a generic Unix shell
would be most likely to be maintained (certainly easier).  I know
of some which would be ksh like, which is a super set of bash,
roughly speaking.  And scripting takes an order of magnitude less
effort to write than C, or something similar.

An even better idea might be to set up a web based script to make
the custom kickstart file, and allow the user to download the
result, and everything else needed, from one place.  I suppose this
would likely be a perl and cgi scheme (something that would run
from a text based browser, like lynx).  Would this raise a barrier
to some users?  Not everyone has access to the internet.  Maybe the
web scheme could also be distributed in other formats, such as on
CD, downloadable floppy image, or zip archive.

People buy MicroShaft for compatibility, but get incompatibility and
