Jamie - do you know if they fixed the "hang on signal" issue?
I guess my fantasy of being able to tell people "download the latest AOLserver version, download the latest PG version, download the latest OpenACS kernel and core packages, and install" is not likely to come to pass after all.
It's too bad, I see this as being a small but not insignificant barrier to adoption.
Maybe Jamie's intermediate suggestion - the AOLserver.com host a large, inclusive tarball that includes extra pieces - is a reasonable approach.
