Debian-installer is a nice layer over debootstrap and it does more, such as installing a kernel, partitioning disks. The programm code comes alive because it is shipped in an initrd. (kernel boots and starts programms provided in the initial ramdisk) When d-i would be shipped as tarball, that way it can be used on an allready installed system. Use case: Remote conversion of a system as the original submitter did. Cheers Geert Stappers -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
