This package enables the user to create ISO images for burning to recordable CD and DVD media which contain a bootable installer (PGI) which guides the user through the steps of installation. The installer supports both text mode and graphical installation modes. PGI runs debootstrap to install a minimal Debian system to the target filesystem(s), and (if the installing user requests) sets up a boot loader, and uses the pivot_root() system call to "boot" into the installed system. ISO images may be generated with complete or partial Debian package archives, or with only the installer (useful for network-only installs, which PGI supports.) . PGI is extensible and customizable. Two example extensions are provided with this package; one uses the base-config package, while the other configures the system using the X-based Configlet system. . Two manuals are provided as part of this package: "Creating Debian Installers with PGI" and an example user's manual for PGI. Those creating custom installers with PGI will want to update the user's manual as well. -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux apocalypse 2.4.13 #1 Thu Oct 25 03:13:42 EST 2001 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US.iso-8859-1
