1 SliTaz Installer
2 ================================================================================

5 The first SliTaz installer was built using ncurses Dialog within a SHell script.
6 It was the last SliTaz home made tool that didn't have a desktop integrated
7 interface, and had some crappy code as it was written at the start of the
8 project.
9
10 Tazinst is the new installer written entirely in SHell script and usable from
11 the cmdline without dialog or any other gui-like interface! This new installer
12 is able to perform an installation automatically based on a simple config file
13 with clear variables such as: INST_TYPE="iso", TGT_PARTITION="/dev/hda1".
14
15 With this way, it allows developers to create a different kind of frontend:
16 Dialog, GTK and CGI/web in TazPanel. The frontend just has to create a config
17 file and start the cmdline installer and report steps in a nice way (progress
18 bar or/and messages).

22 ----
23 Tazinst has been coded from the beginning with gettext support. Please
24 forget 'echo' and use gettext, but remember that gettext "" is equivalent
25 to echo -n. All scripts use the same TEXTDOMAIN and the same pot files, all
26 translations go in the po/ folder.
27
28 To start a new translation please use msginit from the pot file directory.
29 Example for French/France locale (fr_FR):
30
31 $ msginit -l fr_FR -o fr.po -i tazinst.pot
32
33 To update all translations from a newly updated pot file:
34
35 $ make msgmerge
36 Or:
37 $ msgmerge -U fr.po tazinst.pot
