Dear Maintainer,

the website at [1] states that "The live images contain the
end-user-friendly Calamares Installer, a distribution-independent
installer framework, as alternative to our well known
Debian-Installer.". This is imho misleading in two ways.

First, the Calamares Installer is not available in the standard live CD
since it requires a graphical UI.

Second, it sounds like the Debian-Installer is an alternative in this
manner, i.e. it can be started from a running live system as well which
afaik is not the case. You need to start the installer from bootloaders
menu.

Would be nice to find a better, still dense, wording for this.

Regards,
doak

The description on
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-live-builds/amd64/iso-hybrid/
now clearly states which variants of the ISO contain the calamers installer.
