[Typo3-dev] Introduction of an automated, self extracting installer for typo3.org

Hello,

I'm currently trying to find user support for a program I created for
developers in PHP. Its an self extracting installer for PHP programs meaning
not to replace existing installers, but allowing users to upload two single
(compressed) files for installing an application like typo3.org - you can
think of this like the InstallShield Wizard for Windows XP.

I know, and I'm sure many PHP developers do know, that this tool will NOT
run on most SAFE_MODE-enabled areas. But for the rest and installs on
tripod.de (ok, who want to do this?) where SAFE_MODE is enabled and it still
works - it really helps because you only have to upload two single files
(typo3.org compressed package "dummy" have a size of about 2.8 MB) and it
automatically sets CHMODs.

Most developers - at least for my former projects - had many support
requests about CHMODing and so on.

Please have a look at:

http:///www.direct-netware.de/redirect.php?web;de;projects;ipk;ni (de)
and judge yourself.

My question: Are anybody here interested in this "technology" - released
under GNU GPL and GNU LGPL (the core iPK-class).

Thanks for supporting and answering,
@4u
