AIF is based on the old installer, but the code has been madly refactored, reorganized, cleaned up and in some places replaced. AIF comes by default with these procedures: - interactive: A port of /arch/setup. Should work okay if you don't try too hard to break it ;-) - quickinst: A port of /arch/quickinst. Work in progress. Don't use this yet. +- automatic: An automated, deploy-tool-alike procedure. Work in progress. Don't use this yet.
