Besides all the other advantages, it means the packages are only distributed once, instead of the current distribution which is needlessly big because it has them twice in default/ and all/ It would something like: 1) Download jboss-installer-5.0.0.jar 2a) Run the install headless java -jar jboss-installer-5.0.0.jar --headless --config=default --output=/home/telrod/jboss-5.0.0 2b) Run the install headless and choose what you want java -jar jboss-installer-5.0.0.jar --headless --config=basic --include=jbossmq --output=/home/telrod/jboss-5.0.0 2c) Run the installer and choose what you want with the GUI java -jar jboss-installer-5.0.0.jar

Please do include a zip version as well (makes it a lot easier for servers without X installed).
