Some students from MES college of Engineering , Kerala, India Developed a new installer for Debian GNU/Hurd It is named as Debian GNU/Hurd LX installer as the successor of K series t that boot Directly into X. Today it will be released

Debian-Installer Loader is a Debian Etch installer for Windows which adds an entry to the boot menu that allows you to start the Debian installation. Unlike the Ubuntu installation with Wubi, real Debian partitions are created during the installation. In the end, you have a dual-boot system (Windows/Debian).

"This HOWTO walks you through the installation of Debian GNU/Linux using the graphical installer ("installgui"). It covers some common scenarios - complete over-write of everything on an existing hard drive, dual-boot with another operating system (eg Windows) and installation from CD/DVD and network ("netinst"). This article is based on the Debian 4.0 Stable (Etch) i386 installer."

If you gripe about a console-based installer, even those as relatively "easy" as Debian, the alternative disc for Ubuntu or even Slackware, then doing a BSD installation isn't for you. (Actually, it is, because DesktopBSD and PC-BSD, both of which I've also installed, make it much, much easier.)

"We are approaching the Debian 5.0 (Lenny) release and the Debian Installer team is working to fix the remaining issues for it. The Debian Installer Release Candidate 1 is being prepared and we are short in time to make fixes.

After a long break from debian-installer development, I finally found time today to return to the project. Having to spend less time working dependency based boot in debian, as it is almost complete now.

"The Debian Installer team is proud to announce the first beta of Debian Lenny's Installer. This is the first release since Etch and the whole team has been hard at work during the past 11 months to make this release full of new features and bugfixes. We do need your help to find bugs and further improve the installer, so please try it..."

"Hello,

it has been more than three years since the last "Bits from the Debian GNU/Hurd porters", high time for an update on the port:

* Snapshot releases
* Base and toolchain status
* Xen support
* Autobuilder availability and archive coverage improved
* Developer machine
* Summer of Code 2008
* Still no debian-installer
..."

I was just recently blown away by what I can accomplish with the Debian installer. I used to think that the openSUSE installer was the most flexible Linux installer, but I think I’m going to at least put the Debian installer in a 2-way tie for first with openSUSE.
