has anyone tried this yet?

out of curiosity, i installed this. its faster than Installer 3.0. Packages are still limited and didn't explore too much.

What's noticeable is that there is no need to install BSD Subsystem. I tried to install OpenSSH and i had no issue encountered.

I had it installed last night, better than installer in looks and functions, also moves your ring tones, apps,fonts for you automatically use BossTool to confirm, Take note:but when you uninstall Cydia your Applications folder will be empty when you SSH to your iphone scared the sh-- out of me, i resteored my iphone 3x but still no dice Application Folder still empty searched everywhere in my Iphone File system cant find my Apps both native and 3rd party, The Fix...i reinstalled Cydia and voilah my Applications are back in the Application folder again. Wont harm you if you keep Installer and Cydia both anyway so i am keeping it.

update: My Iphone was still working even though i cant see my Applications anymore when i SSH earlier, i knew it was just moved for me by Cydia but i cant seem to locate it at that time.

well my Iphone is back and alive installing Apps from both Installer and Cydia.. now ihave two..

well the fact that it is an open source project makes it very promising, i'll be keeping an eye out for more news about it before installing it.

it's not that i don't want the option of having 2 installers but i'm afraid it'll look messy? ahehehe O.C. eh
