Which might also be interesting are the following parts:
- What do you already have?

- How does the code run? In particular, if I run your installer to test it, 
what will it do with my installed KDE? I wouldn't like it if the installer 
were actually writing to my disk...

I originally promised to contribute parts, but I have to admit not having 
committed a single line of code. I simply don't have enough time for yet 
another project right now, unfortunately. Also, I'm not on a permanent 
internet connection and my first impression of the installer was that it 
needs internet access to run. I guess the current code can run from harddisk, 
but back then it seemed to me like it couldn't do that yet.

I am currently working on a private project that has more importance for me 
at the moment, but that might also be useful for integration in KDE installer 
_IF_ I get it working. No promises, I'll let you know if and when I get 
something working. That's all I can contribute right now, sorry.

Maybe if there's some item on the TODO that Greg requested I can see what I 
can do, but that's not very likely.
