The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

Wow! Guys this is a VERY interesting discussion, but my original intent
had been to find a general purpose, text based, system integration tool
that could be used to configure a base+.tgz [1] system. I'm looking for a
much more minimalist interface, but one that anyone can recognize and use.
The only real choice I have at the moment is Dialog. Bruce, you have used
this to build installation scripts with, haven't you? Is this tool
adequate to the task? I have been fittfully looking for several months for
a reasonable C++ TUI, but haven't yet found one. 

[1] This is the base system, plus netstd, netbase, ppp, joe, vi, perl,....
built like the current base system. You untar the file on the target
partition, configure it, and boot up with a bare bones system with enough
beef to continue the installation in any method desired. 

Luck,

Dwarf
