Marc, In order to be kind to newbie's, you will need to mention tar and gnu zip which don't come standard on some flavors of Unix. In my case Solaris 2.6 only has tar. Zip must be installed. Also, you are going to need to at least point them to documentation. Maybe we could make extra $$$ selling tech support for your bundle (a la Red Hat)??? The extra cabbage could go to buying ads. I think the goal of the "total installation" should be something akin to M$ Office if you are aiming at the corporate/business user. PHB's like things that they feel like they can control. I have no idea how you could idiot proof this, though, unless you set LOTS of defaults.
