Does anyone have any clues or know-how on how to create an installer script/graphical installer for a lfs system or a custom built one?

Thanks!

2) you are joking i take it?

you really expect someone to tell you how to write an entire OS installation program? that's no mean feat... all i'd suggest is to back up what you've got and decompress the system. you're NOT gonna get your own installer... unelss of course you feel like spending 1000 man hours writing one...

much to learn you have my friend until you finaly finish it.

(just an installer from inide an OS that supports TCL/TK.

From scratch . . .there is no way...... (it ll take long).

If you wrote a shell script to edit the files needed, this would probably work out;
