Debian Sarge Installation Slide Show

Posted by michael on from the easy-does-it dept.

brunotorres writes "I've made an slide-show, presenting the steps of Debian sarge (testing) installation. I put images of all relevant steps of the installation and a brief description of each one. It's nice to notice that debian-installer is much more straightforward and user friendly in sarge than it was in woody."

    Anaconda must be viable. Could the next version use it?
    Unfortunatly, Anaconda does not work on the vast majority of architectures that Debian supports. Progeny currently uses anaconda as it's installer, but they only support i386.

    debian-installer has hooks for supporting FD based installers, but as of this moment, no one has written such a beast. [Not that it's all that big of a deal anyway, as you can basically install Debian by just repeatedly pressing enter.]

    Anyway, this question is well covered in the D-I FAQ.

    considering ubuntu is based on debian, yeah. But the newest verisons use anaconda.

    Ubuntu is based on debian, and the answer is yes, it does.

    Ubuntu doesn't use Anaconda, you must be confusing it with Progeny.

    Yes, I've gone into manual steps, because I wanted to show them. But you really can install it only pressing enter, and making very little options by yourself
