I have been for some time bearing in mind making a package manager for the eee note. I have reviewed the ipk and deb format and find deb too composite for a machine of this nature, and the lack of script support in ipk to be a trouble ( if there is a 'more hardcore' zaurus programmer reading this, please comment and tell me I'm wrong here). I think that maintaining your Full Install will be more and more work as the number of packages increases so it would be nice if the Full Install could take care of the low level language and system issues and install a package manager that is self-updating, which would free you from re-packaging your FullInstall with each revision of a package.
