DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: New HD installer project
I've began to program a little script which make the installation more nice and easy to use, I haven't finished it YET, that's why I am posting here, because I would like to know if there is anybody instersted to finish it with me, I am needing to finish the post-setup part, (the part before the installation setup)
you can get the un-completed && actual code at: my blog
and here a Screenshot of what do I have done. That's the "idea" (Maybe some debian-like installer)
Please don't hesitate on contact me at carlos at gnu.cl
By the way: Ideas from non-developers are welcomed too!.
Hm, having an easier looking installation script sounds like a great idea.
Some questions:
- will you include a partitioning/formatting (with reboot) part?
- selection via menu (i.e. arrow keys+enter vs inputting by hand)
- is this aiming for all type of installations? Or just one?
- is this going to encompass different bootloaders (ie lilo vs grub) and different configurations? (ie install grub stage1 to hda and stage2 to hdb)
Just after a quick glance at the code...
- line 7: DIALOIG= <-- I think you meant DIALOG
- do you plan on also using the Xdialog (not included in DSL afaik) or some other X interface (ie w/ lua) ?
