Description: Progeny graphical installer creation system
This package contains PGI, a multi-architecture graphical installation
system for Debian GNU/Linux originally developed by Progeny Linux Systems,
Inc., for their Debian-based "Progeny Debian" operating system.
.
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.
