Package: debian-installer Severity: wishlist [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache show debian-installer Package: debian-installer Priority: optional Section: devel Description: Debian installer This package currently only contains some documentation for the Debian installer. We welcome suggestions about what else to put in it.
How about a program /usr/bin/debian-installer that gives me the same curses interface than the bootable CDs and permits me to install Debian on a different disk/partition? This niche was (as far as I am concerned) adequately filled by the combination of (c)debootstrap and base-config before, but as base-config has now disappeared, we actually have a regression in etch compared to potato / woody / sarge. Using the debian-installer infrastructure for that and giving people the same nice hand-holding interface than for a from-scratch installation would be an awesome way to address that, to not only fix the regression, but replace it by something really better, nostalgia à la http://www.infodrom.org/~joey/log/?200609102259 notwithstanding. (I'm aware this will probably not be ready for etch, but please consider it for later.) Thanks, -- Lionel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
