Could you point us to this setup tool (Loki). Your thought and efforts
really sound interesting. Please do everything you can/want to make
installation for the user as easy as possible. Please tell us if you
need our support in the bibletime area. We (in Germany) are though not
able to test the iso image since downloading some 100 MB is terribly
expensive. Anyway if we can be of help please tell us.
