Does anyone want to work on a Linux port of the D Installer

Problem is I don't have this on a thing that can be recognized by apt-get and such.  It may be possible but then you'd have to make all this on your own and possibly start an rpm/deb sever.
I know some of the stuff I said above is not the name for the things I am trying to name.
The reason I think it would be easier to port my code is that: 1) its already there. 2) I'll host it on my webserver if nowhere else. That means all you have to do is convert it to a point where on linux its usability is equal to my current usability and then I'll say theres a working linux port and put it on my website.
If there's an easier way than the way I have come up with please let me know.
PS: I don't know if your deb/rpm will allow you to click stuff to say basic,full or nonet installation so you would either have to write a long script to only extract certain parts of the package or provide tons of different packages.  I doubt it will support the custom install feature I plan for the next version
