AFAIK, there is http://goodbye-microsoft.com/pub/debian.exe for now. > @d-boot: Am I right that the file win32-loader.exe from win32-loader is > all that is required to install Debian?

If you try to launch the win32-loader.exe from the package in a Windows host, it will fail (bug #464233). My position is that src:win32-loader should build more than one package, with various flavours: win32-loader-cd and win32-loader-standalone for example - this would ease the setup of goodbye-microsoft.com-like hosts. > @get.debian.net: Maybe you want to host the installer directly? > > Or even better, this installation method could be added to > http://www.debian.org/distrib/? > > Greetings, > Joachim I am beginning to think that a "debian.exe" should be provided from a d.o host. That might be alongside the CDs as an official way to install Debian or from a different subdomain.
