RE: runInstaller

Oh the system does. That's a given. There is no need to java-fy everything. There was a perfectly good working installer. Not everyone wants to jump through the hoops of setting up xservers and watching all your RAM consumed by the JRE.

Perl and Perl TK are multi-platform, small footprint, etc. OEM 1.6 still had mostly Tcl/TK pieces and parts and ran fast and reliably. Not so for OEM 2.x. Give me a command line back for installs. That's not too much to ask, right?
