Hi,
Is it possible to mod the installer from one distribution to another? For instance i prefer Mandrake's or Pardus's installer's partitioners to Debian's. They are graphical and seem to be more intuitive to me.
I've reading up on Linux installers, and I think it would be really cool to could create a mash up of sorts, take the best of installers from each distro and make a new one. Or maybe port(
there must be a better word), your favorite installer onto your favorite distribution. Imagine installing Debain via
YALI
I know it'll take a lot of work, YALI is made using Python and Qt, d-i uses Gtk (for the graphical frontend to cdebconf). Besides, installers are among the most critical components in the whole setup, i mean a broken installer would mean lots of work for the users and consequently for the dev community. Plus the package management systems differ from distribution to distribution.
I guess i am looking for thoughts on this, this isn't exactly a standard question
