Wasn't Sun Microsystems working with the InstallShield people to produce a Java verison of InstallShield? Probably something in the realm of JavaOS I would guess!!
Talking about .deb packages, has anyone had any millage with 'alien' which converts between different package formats? I've never had need to use it, but it may prove useful to those worried about availability of .debs etc.

p.s. Should be coming to ALUG3 - add me to the list of attendees!!
Well at least Windows has the one dominent system that practically *everyone* conforms to
Doesn't mean it's any good though. How often have you installed a package on Windows only to find it overwrites files belonging to other programs, or removed one and had half your system go to?
which I why I say a standard-across-distros GNU Packager is needed.
Indeed; InstallShield for nux would be nice...
