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.
