You mean you want an actual installer, like in DOS or Windows? IMHO, it's crazy. I had similar problem. I joined two physical disks into one logical using LVM

  > You mean you want an actual installer, like in DOS or Windows? IMHO, it's crazy. Well that's still better, in my opinion, than package managers and all their various restrictions. But ideally I want something like AppImage, where an application is a singular entity that can just be moved at will and run from wherever [0]. Most DOS programs and many Windows programs (if you extract them from the installer) will still work like that. > I had similar problem. I joined two physical disks into one logical using LVM and forgot about problem. :-/ If you unplug the external disk, your system stops working. This is not what I want, as I mentioned already in the post you're replying to. [0] classic MacOS, RiscOS, and NeXT all had programs that worked like this too. Linux has yet to achieve the flexibility in application management afforded by the OSs of the 1980s.
