Just installed 2.1-951104-SNAP.  Great job, Jordan!

One question:  is there any way (or any plans!) to make the shell for
installing pacakges/distributions standalone?  ie, while running a
normal kernel, pull up a window that will ftp in, list the packages,
and let me choose which ones I want and download them?

I'm talking about -after- installation here, like leaving it running
in it's own xterm, for instance.

just curious.
