linstaller is now in maintenance mode, that means that it won't be developed further if not to implement some feature related to Semplice Linux.
There are plans to create a new installer from scratch, and that will be the focus of Semplice's installer-related projects.
linstaller is a modular and preseedable GNU/Linux distribution installer, written in python.
It is Semplice Linux-oriented, but thanks to its configuration system, can be adapted to many Live distributions.
The project's name has three different meanings:
- LINstaller = LINux installer
- L'installer = "The installer" in italian
- L-installer = laiv-installer, which was the name of our previous installer.
Use the distutils-based setup.py to install linstaller:
sudo python2.7 setup.py install
You can then symlink /usr/lib/linstaller/linstaller.py to /usr/bin/linstaller.
To start linstaller you should use this command:
sudo linstaller -c=semplice start
where 'semplice' is the configuration file of the distribution (currently only semplice is available). You can symlink 'semplice' to 'default' and not use the -c switch.
To specify the frontend, you can use the -f switch.
