Well, I wouldn't want to make any warranties or guarantees at this point. When the version number has reached 1.0 I'll feel more confident. All I can say is that PGI appears to be much more robust even than Progeny Debian's installer, upon which it was based. Aside from issues with video cards unsupported by XFree86 (see below), I am unaware of any categorial complaints about PGI's robustness. > Maybe it is good enough to be secondary installer (maybe on second a CD > or sth?) I personally would certainly be comfortable with that. > 1. Is this possible to include it along with the basic, textmode > installer? Can You say some more deatailed about it? PGI does actually include a text-mode installer. You pass the installer the "textmode" argument at the SYSLINUX boot prompt. > 2. Is PGI localized to Polish?

PGI is not localized to Polish, and there would be some infrastructural changes necessary to support internationalization. > 3. What else should I know ? ;-) Some mailing list?

I welcome further feedback, especially once you've had a chance to evaluate it. Thanks a lot for giving PGI a look! -- G.
