For Camelbox, that's essentially what takes place, but there's a bit more to it. If you look in C:\camelbox\share\pkglists, you'll see text files that contain the list of files installed with each package. The scripts I used to package would automatically build these filelists and include them in the archive files are uploaded to Google, which in turn is what Camelbox downloads and installs during the install process. One thing that I didn't do that I should have done (and would like to do) is set up perllocal.pod correctly; on Camelbox, perllocal.pod will most likely contain only the last Perl module that I installed when I built it, when it should be a listing of all non-CORE Perl modules that are installed. As far as naming, I'm not on the Strawberry development team, but I would suggest a new name to prevent confusion with non-GUI Strawberry later on. Thanks, Brian
