Where would the Installer look for gzip?

The way to start the Installer is only creative for a Raspberry Pi. It's remarkably similiar to what an amd64 EFI box experiences: The UEFI firmware is started (on a PC it's the first thing that runs, on the Raspi it is called from the binary firmware blob that is read from the boot medium and runs on the GPU), the UEFI firmware fires up grub which in turn invokes the installer. I am open to suggestsions for other ways to start the installer. Greetings Marc -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.
