A Modern Woody Debian GNU/Linux Installer

Posted by michael on from the you-can-never-have-too-much-debian dept.

An anonymous reader writes "With everyone around talking about how Woody has an outdated installer and lacks some new packages and hardware support, some people feel the urge to get to work. The result? A customized installer. It has a 2.4.26 version kernel, supports XFS, LVM, RAID and various hardware drivers. Comes along with vim, bash, you can even resize partitions using parted and you get postfix as the default MTA. It has two flavours, a business card CD and a miniCD version which will help you install a minimal Debian system or even a X Window desktop."

    The same type of people who thought up libpr0n.

    Terrible lack of time. Sorry! I thought I share such idea instead.

    Just one anal point here. C IS a high level language. A high level language is any language which uses commands and functions rather than instructions. You must be confusing VERY high level languages with high level languages. Most (but not all) very high level languages are interpreted.

    High and very high level languages consist of most languages. Low level languages are short in supply, mostly being limited to assembler and machine code.
