please keep me informed of any work you do on the NSIS installer, id hate
to repeat any work you might be doing.
If you look at some of the examples there is a drop down menu which offers
Full/Minamal/Normal install which i vaguely plan to implement
eventually (basically a full installer with bidi with the options to do
less than full installs and maybe non-bidi if they choose minimal). <

If you can spare the time,
Use a vanilla RedHat install to test
or check the archives for mails people sent about dependecies.
Mostly i just use what comes with the Install CD.
