We actually have that already. Packages in the "user" section, literally, can be installed via the application manager by clicking through the dialogs. Packages that *aren't* in the user section, such as libs and other system packages, have to be installed either in red pill mode or via the command line after gaining root. Both methods are at least as involved as entering an admin password at a prompt. -- It doesn't take a nukular scientist to pronounce foilage! --Marge Simpson http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/shouldbefree.html
