graphics

Technically, it still doesn't always use graphics - it is still going to have a text-based installer, because debian has to install on machines that have only a teletype console. 69.161.80.217 17:47, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Screenshot

The screenshot shows the loader for win32, not debian-installer itself, this should be fixed. --Philipp Kern (talk) 10:57, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

 Fixed now, I think.  -- Robertmh (talk) 08:43, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

phil hands' work

I don't want to denigrate Phil's work, but d-i fully supported unattended installations before Phil contributed anything to it. This was something I designed into it from the very beginning, and I remember taking a month making sure every corner of it worked, the fall before the release of Sarge.

Here is the announcement of the first version of d-i to feature fully support for automation via preseeding: http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/News/2004/20040930

Phil's work is a higher level automation on top of the standard debconf preseeding that d-i supports. It allows typing "auto" to get a fully automated installation, amoung other things. Phil developed it and I integrated it in 2006 or 2007.

Ouch! This is embarrassing -- I've no idea why Luke has decided to inflate my contribution to d-i, and now that I've stumbled across this page I'll ask him to stop doing so. While I've done work to do with automation in d-i, my work really only streamlined some aspects of the existing setup, so while making it easier to accomplish the task it didn't really add very much that wasn't already there. If my contribution needs to be explicitly stated, then so do the the contributions of dozens of others who have put more work in than I.

OK, I've had a chat with Luke, and he apologises for the misunderstanding on his part -- I've also removed the offending paragraph.

where is it; what is it?

Maybe the text portion of Debian anchor tags are too sophisticated for me. All I know is that I see references to the "installer" all over the place, no links to it, no mention of it being an .exe file, no mention of whether or not it runs in Linux or Windows. This article could go a long way to help promote Linux by improving on the content found on the Debian project websites.

Even the links to download directories contain files that are named as Debian files have always been named, but htey turn out to be package lists, not the thing they appear to be -- which is a CD image. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.122.94.113 (talk) 03:00, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
