For my project i am designing a stand alone GUI but would like to incubate it to a Browser based User Interface (pretty much like the NimbleX online customizer ,then it would be truly a platform independent distro constructor).
The following is my current roadmap: 1.Design a wizard like GUI using Java. 2.Provide options for adding repositories , selecting a subset of available repositories. 3.Option for Media Selection (i.e final media would be a CD/DVD or/and USB image). 4.Package selection. would love if you could give suggestions or comments. (The choice of using JAVA for GUI is a part of the project proposal and cannot be changed.) regards, On Sun, Jan 4, 2009 at 11:27 PM, Eric J.
