Here is another patch for the installer. It does a few things:
* use socket.getfqdn() but fallback to gethostname()
* streamlines the hostname prompting
* fixes a bunch of spelling and grammatical errors
* fixes a bug in the hostname reading/verification logic
* allows "yes" and "no" as answers
* modularizes and reuses code where possible
* changes some of the prompts to be more like
the FDS installer - some text is copied (which is easy to use IMO)
* tries to make the prompts fit on smaller screens (<80 chars)
Hope you agree that it is better. :)
Thanks,

Good point. In genera,l I prefer doing a try because it is a little
less racy but in this case it doesn't make a difference.
Updated patch attached.

Install the turbogears web gui including an init script. This
patch includes a few related changes:
* create a production configuration
* rename the web gui startup scrip to ipa-webgui
* add an init script
* chkconfig on the ipa-webgui init script
* make the start script properly daemonize the app when not
in a development directory.
* Install everything to the correct places (/usr/sbin/ipa-webgui
and /usr/share/ipa/ipagui mainly).
There are some things still left to do:
* Sort out the logging - the config needs to be adjusted so
that logging messages end up in /var/log.
* Remove the rpmbuild tree with the dist-clean target.
* Move ipa-server-setupssl from /usr/sbin to /usr/share/ipa
* Check in requirement change for generated freeipa-python.spec
* Fix interactive hostname in ipa-server-install.
The default configuration of the apache selinux policy doesn't allow
apache to connect to the turbogears gui. This sets the correct
boolean to allow that connection.
removes the need for LDIF conversion. It will make TurboGears direct
code faster, but should keep xmlrpc about the same speed.
The patch also swaps out ldap.cidict for the IPA CIDict class. IPA code
should only use the CIDict class now.
