Ikey's google + might be of interest, he's developing a new installer for solus 1.3 but is going to rewrite it for solus 2 but he looks to be doing it in a very open ended way https://plus.google.com/105704906416776356848/posts

### Re: Bloat alert! zenity vs. yad (wheezy)

Update: I removed zenity from a test install, and it only took about three packages total. All the other cruft that was listed earlier in this thread is probably needed for other packages that were added to the build after this thread was started. (Abiword, for example.)
Guess I'll leave it in. The graphical installer will preferentially use yad, but the zenity-based script is still there. You can call it with 'refractainstaller-gui'. Need to start working on documentation soon.

refractasnapshot-gui-9.0.7 will use yad if present or fall back to zenity. I injected dzz's example code above, and it works. Tested in wheezy with yad and in squeeze with zenity.
