IIRC I had a repo somewhere of a graphical live installer I started
writing, but I don't think it actually did anything. Anyway, *IMHO* a
live installer is better because then you can try it and install it if
you like it without needing to download 2 ISOs (Live and Install)
yes, both has advantages. the advantage of a non-live gui install is
that you don't have to wait a lot till the installer starts. i haven't
benchmarked it but the normal setup is below 30 secs i think while
fwlive is probably a few _minutes_. (ie if you are _forced_ to load a
full kde just because of an install can be annoying.)
it is necessary to keep the original install of this
new fwlive graphical install only one options
your this selection
I'm not sure what do you mean janny =) but in general you don't
need to load KDE nor are you forced to install the live image :)
All we are forced to do is to have an *default* install.
Example :
Do a live CD with say ede ( or some such foo mini DE ) stripped , with only
what one would need to start it ( eg: minimal X , network things , minimal libs to run that etc )
yep, we could even have some minimal WM like fluxbox/openbox which
would free up quite a lot of space on the CD.
Also, i'm planning to start working on the GUI installer once i finish
gService. Ofcourse, i won't be able to write something like what Fedora
(Anaconda) has. But yes, a simple installer in GTK+ is possible.
Your LiveCD is <200MB in this case. For the rest ( 500MB++ ) you could have in theory the FPM's
for the default install.
Anyway I'm not sure I'm really an fan of this but is possible :)
