Indy can be installed in text mode.  Isntaller is in python.

I see at least two more:

-Kernel and optimization group: Build an optimal kernel, look about if
 we integrate novelties like ReiserFs and the Alsa sound drivers,
 integrate in the installation whatever optimizations we can so the
 user does not need to discover them, I am thinking in Powertweak: I
 have easured far better disk throughput and less CPU usage in I/Os
 when powertweak is activated.

-Espionnage group: It is about trying other distribs and seeing what
 idzeas we could use of them.  But told this way it makes think in
 James Bond.

Hacking Indy through a modem has a negative effect on moral since ssh
sessions are _painful_.
