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."

    I don't have any Windows machines to test it out on.

    Will this work in Wine? :)

    Seriously though - nice work, guys.
