NewTen is based on UnixNPI, which only does installs over serial, mostly
because it implements MNP over the serial line. Also, UnixNPI is GPL'd (not
my choice, sorry), and didn't we have this whole GPL vs. BSD licence
discussion before?
If you want to look at a unix package installer that's not GPL'd, I believe
that PhilZ's lpkg installer is BSD licenced. Unfortunately his page is gone,
and I seem to have lost my mirror. But a google search for "lpkg newton"
turns up a bunch of promising results...
