Progeny Announces Graphical Installer for Debian Woody 231

Posted by CowboyNeal on Thursday October 24, 2002 @07:36AM from the gui-but-not-sticky dept.

jdaily writes "In light of recent negative reviews of Debian in which the installer was roundly criticized, this announcement may have particular timeliness and relevance: Progeny has made available an i386 Debian 3.0 (woody) installer image based on PGI, the Progeny Graphical Installer. This is available at Progeny's free software archive." I've installed Debian so many times that I've just learned to cope with the installer, but this is a much needed boost.

Decent systems, like Debian or FreeBSD, you only install once!

If you only have one machine.

dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/dev/hdb1

Nah, use an eight-year-old child - they're much better suited.

It just struck me exactly how bad that advice would sound out of context.
