Written in what language? C, I suppose. It's not a bad idea. I see some issues with dialup users downloading the installer, disconnecting, and then trying to run it. I've also been contemplating for a while having a Java applet that installs Freenet for you. That way you don't even have to download anything. I've seen such a thing work before. I'm still wary of Java applets, though. They're plagued by compatibility problems due to sucky browser JVMs. _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl >From - Wed May 2 08:53:58 2001 Return-Path: <devl-admin at freenetproject.org> Received: from hawk.freenetproject.org (postfix@[4.18.42.11]) by funky.danky.com (8.9.3/8.8.7) with ESMTP id BAA04891 for <danello at danky.com>; Wed, 2 May 2001 01:46:32 -0400 Received: from hawk.freenetproject.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by hawk.freenetproject.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 29068580D9; Tue, 1 May 2001 23:27:03 -0700 (PDT) Delivered-To: devl at freenetproject.org Received: from server5.generalmail.com (server5.fpw.ch [194.209.117.20]) by hawk.freenetproject.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D44EC58067 for <devl at freenetproject.org>; Tue, 1 May 2001 23:26:37 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost ([194.209.117.3]) by server5.generalmail.com (Post.Office MTA v3.5 release 215 ID# 0-58584U1100L100S0V35) with ESMTP id com for <devl at freenetproject.org>; Wed, 2 May 2001 07:42:55 +0200 Received: from tavin by localhost with local (Exim 3.22 #1 (Debian)) id 14uq0e-0006D4-00 for <devl at freenetproject.org>; Wed, 02 May 2001 02:21:12 -0400 From: Tavin Cole <[email protected]> To: devl at freenetproject.org Subject: Re: [freenet-devl] FCP Layer #3: Stacks Message-ID: <20010502022111.T17631 at niss> References: <20010501232951.C32016 at indiana.edu> <Pine.OSF.4.33.0105012334400.25721-100000 at curly.cc.utexas.edu> <20010502001948.A4065 at indiana.edu> <20010502013028.O17631 at niss> <20010502003832.A4550 at indiana.edu> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.3.15i Sender: devl-admin at freenetproject.org Errors-To: devl-admin at freenetproject.org X-BeenThere: devl at freenetproject.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.3 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: devl at freenetproject.org List-Help: <mailto:devl-request at freenetproject.org?subject=help> List-Post: <mailto:devl at freenetproject.org> List-Subscribe: <http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl>, <mailto:devl-request at freenetproject.org?subject=subscribe> List-Id: Discussion of information related to Freenet development <devl.freenetproject.org> List-Unsubscribe: <http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl>, <mailto:devl-request at freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe> List-Archive: <http://lists.freenetproject.org/pipermail/devl/>
