Okay, that's a bit tricky: Under normal circumstances you would reboot need to check, if your bios allows to boot from CD/DVD/Blu-ray, and could then boot from your optical drive continuing with the installation. With win32-loader you can insert your disc while running windows. It will add an entry to Windows boot loader (including some settings like timezone and language IIRC) and when you reboot you can start the installation process from windows boot menu without needing to check your bios settings. (d-i folk, is that summary correct?) There was some discussion on the debian-boot list about that, while searching for a good phrase for that. Currently that sentence has been removed, but maybe you can come up with something? Best regards, Alexander
