It might be too big a project for me too, but I don't usually figure that out 
until the project is done. :)

I'm not sure if it is as complicated as it seems unless you want it to make all 
of the decisions for you.  I've been thinking about how to do this for about 3 
months, so I already have some ideas.

I want to document everything we do, so others can make their own installers.


I must have missed a message.  We're not meeting on June
17?
