The refracta installer and snapshot

Hi everyone,

I've just been using a distro (DebEX) that has refracta-installer as its installer, and I was wondering what people think of it, and was it ever seriously considered as an option for installing Bunsen?

One feature it has is a "tick box" system where you can choose options such as where you want the home directory to go, such as onto a different partition. The ability to choose a separate partition for the /home directory when installing the distro is a feature that Slackware still has but I believe most distros have dropped now; maybe the Red Hat clones still do it.

There's also Refracta Snapshot, which enables a bootable live DVD image to be created from your running system (MX and antiX have something similar, but I've found it to be a bit hit and miss). Is this something that could work for Bunsen?
