If you're just looking for installation, you can set up a tftp server and
tftp get the comos from the command line. You can also use the command
line java utilities we'll be releasing pretty soon (now in closed Beta)
(Oops, I wasn't supposed to reveal that was I? 8-)

There is a lot to be said for simple tools. Amber is not one of them. But
the command line utilities referenced above are/will be. We will continue
to pump those out as we see (or are shown) the need. We will (probably)
never do another curses product, in 4 years I remember 3 people telling me
they used the old one, and it's not clear that that number would change
over the next 4.
As I believe we've been doing, we will certainly continue to request and
consider customer input w/r/t management. As I've pointed out here many
times, you all know what you need/want to do your daily business. Let us
know, and we'll do our best to accomodate you.
