2008-02-27 14:23:21 Jonathan Marsaud description Binary package hint: debian-installer Hi, Debian provides a debian-installer that can be more "simply" by to be graphic (GTK2+). For test it, type "installgui" on a Debian CD prompt. I think it may be useful to do not « worries » new users who use Alternate CD (Some time, it's the only one solution to install Ubuntu, not a reserved powerfull user method of Installation). Plus, it does not use a lot of memory like "Install Ubuntu" Hardy Desktop CD (== run Ubiquity without GNOME session, I don't speak about full-session with Ubiquity ("Try and install" Ubuntu label), because it does not require a full system loaded to run it. Sorry for my poor technical english, of course, you can try this with a Debian ISO.
