1 SliTaz Installer
2 ================================================================================
5 The first SliTaz installer uses ncurses Dialog within a SHell script. As of
6 April 2011 it is the last SliTaz home made tool that doesn't have a
7 desktop integrated interface. So we must think differently and make changes,
8 we must also keep in mind that the first installer had some crappy code
9 since it was written at the start of the project.
11 The NEW way to think: one installer, entirely in SHell script and usable from
12 the cmdline without dialog or any other gui-like interface! This new installer
13 must be able to perform an installation automatically based an a simple config
14 file with clear variables such as: TYPE="iso|web", TARGET="/dev/hda1", USER="".
16 With this way, we will be able to create a different kind of frontend: Dialog,
17 GTK and CGI/web in TazPanel. The frontend just has to create a config file and
18 start the cmdline installer and report steps in a nice way (progess bar or/and
19 messages).
