linstaller - a simple yet powerful GNU/linux installer

NOTE

linstaller is now in maintenance mode, that means that it won't be developed further if not to implement some feature related to Semplice Linux.

There are plans to create a new installer from scratch, and that will be the focus of Semplice's installer-related projects.

Welcome

linstaller is a modular and preseedable GNU/Linux distribution installer, written in python.

It is Semplice Linux-oriented, but thanks to its configuration system, can be adapted to many Live distributions.

The project's name has three different meanings:

  • LINstaller = LINux installer
  • L'installer = "The installer" in italian
  • L-installer = laiv-installer, which was the name of our previous installer.

Install

Use the distutils-based setup.py to install linstaller:

sudo python2.7 setup.py install

You can then symlink /usr/lib/linstaller/linstaller.py to /usr/bin/linstaller.

Start

To start linstaller you should use this command:

sudo linstaller -c=semplice start

where 'semplice' is the configuration file of the distribution (currently only semplice is available). You can symlink 'semplice' to 'default' and not use the -c switch.

To specify the frontend, you can use the -f switch.
