Damn you. Saw that on Lifehacker earlier. I was going to post here about it but I didn't know how to announce.

Could be very useful but I prefer nlite for windows installs.

This is a bit of a newb question. :rolleyes:

What happens if you are installing software and they need a key ?

Sorry for the newb question

It just thought it would be interesting to know

good point actually, will prolly bring up a promt for a password

yeah i think it prompts for stuff like that. but the fact that it downloads everything is a big plus already as that is 2/3 of the trouble.

i never bother with apps like this or nlite. because apps/drivers are updated on a regular basis so i figure i'm better off downloading and installing everything manually.

for example i just downloaded that app and already the link for firefox is out of date. we're on version 2.0 now. i could edit the xml file but that kind of defeats the object. i don't know the path it needs to download firefox2.....

i'll stick with my manual updates thanks....
