Abstract
A method and system for software and data distribution are described in which an original software and/or data package is provided to a first device. The first device installs the original software package, which includes installing a package builder kit. The package builder kit allows a software distribution kit to be built by the first device. The software distribution kit can be transmitted from the first device to a second device for installation on the second device. The package builder kit includes a copy of an original configuration file from the original software package, details as to the installed files, addresses of the installed files on the first device, details of the internal structure of the original software package, and provides an executable program to build the software distribution kit.
