Debian win32-loader Goes Official

Posted by kdawson on from the like-a-live-cd-on-steroids dept.

An anonymous reader writes "After a long process of review and polishing, the win32 loader from goodbye-microsoft.com has finally made its way to official Debian CDs. Latest daily builds of lenny (the development version) are including it, making starting Debian Installer as simple as just a few clicks (OGG). The win32-loader version, now based on GRUB 2, includes new features such as detection and pre-seeding of Windows settings, and is translated to 20 languages."

    FYI: Debian's graphical installer is way, way ahead of the ubuntu installer u-bug-quity in terms of features and functionality. This is one of the many great things going on in Debian right now.

    Tell me more! I haven't actually run into any bugs in the ubuntu installer. What are the commonly occurring bugs? What features and functionality are betterin the Debian one?
