The user can mount things himself - - quite complicated code if want to make it smart, but it's a dead end anyway. -*** if buildup fails, ask user to rollback -- user should not ctrl-c and installer should not crash. this is doable. a 'wrong' state can be an exception. - - BETA PHASE: try to get aif on the (beta) installcd as an experimental, alternative installer. * find a way to not have to preload libs and stuff, only load them when needed. -> faster start of install program * involve broader community -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
