great, although.. www.bosslinux.in seems to have some problems right
now. so i coudn't have a look at it yet, but it would be nice if we
could add bosslinux to live.debian.net/project/downstreams if you're
using debian-live stuff.

for debian-live, we use the debian-installer in connection with
live-installer, a udeb that allows to install a debian system from a
filesystem image instead of debian packages. with
debian-installer-launcher, we do even have the possibility to launch
debian-installer from the desktop. this is the only implementation of an
installer we will support, i suggest you have a look at it.
apart from that, there's a name clash with live-installer if you name
your installer 'live-installer' too. maybe it would make sense to rename
your live-installer to somethign like boss-installer or so?
