Debian-Installer is a system installer for Debian and its derivatives. It originally appeared in Skolelinux (Debian-Edu) 1.0,[2] released in June 2004, but is now used as the official installation system since Debian 3.1 (Sarge), which was released on June 6, 2005.[3]
Features
[edit | edit source]Debian-Installer consists of two modes: a text mode and a graphical mode. Multiple components of the installer exists to configure various aspects of the installed system, and configuration of some components may require user input.[4]
Regardless of which mode is selected, the installer first prompts the user for a language selection. Some of the tasks the installer performs after a language selection is as follows:[5]
- Detects hardware
- Detect installation media
- Configure the network
- Configure APT/select mirrors
- Set up user accounts
- Detect other operating systems
Win32-loader
[edit | edit source]win32-loader (officially Debian-Installer Loader)[6] is a discontinued[7] component of the Debian Linux distribution that runs on Windows and has the ability to load the actual Debian installer either from the network (as in the version in an official website) or from CD-ROM media (as in the version included in Jessie CD images).
