Hi again,
zenity is a gtk application, and AFAIK there is no real Qt equivalent..
but I have only used KDE a handful of times, and the same goes for LXQt.

So, if we want to make an installer we would need to do a few different
things.
a) make Qt and GTK installers
b) use a different toolkit (I am very familiar with FLTK using c++)
c) look into Qt dialog programs (do they exist, how good are they?)

A bash script is going to be the quickest and easiest way for me to
sketch out a program we can test, and use.

@Greg do you know any programming languages?

I don't have much experience using curl/rsync so my vote is for zsync,
as it is used for ISO downloads

I think as a further precaution we need to look into some sort of
passkey type thing for use with the binary files, in order to further
protect things, or some other way of verifying that the zsynced files
are going solely to a c4c machine (or someone installing c4c-music or
whatever)
I don't have any real suggestions for this right now... but just the
thought that we should do this
