and thank's in advanced

Hi:

Cong-rad's on building and creating LFS-:)

I think this is something for a user that has a lot of experience running Debian, Debian Testing or a Developer to help you.
Best to wait for a member with this experience-:)

If you want to build the installer yourself this looks like a place to start:-

Thank's for reply

i have created my own installer (work just on mode console ) but not efficae like debian-installer
and currently i want integrat debian-installer or create a new installer gui efficace

can any one help me

I can't be of much help either.

Seems to me though that if you have written an installer that works it may be much easier to improve it.

One way to do that would be to get the source code for the Debian installer and take a look at it. Could well be that you could simply use chunks of it, edited to fit your system, easier than trying to force the Debian installer, as a whole, to work with LFS.

I already telcharger the source code for deibian-install
and I try to understand but debian - installer is a large project and requires a lot of time to understand its inner workings
I want to know if someone already experience with debian-install can help me
for an installer like debian - install or well ubiquity

my own installer https://github.com/codercrazy99/gui-installer-

In the past ubiquity had crash issues but I am not sure if that is still the case.

Anaconda is another installer but that might be for Fedora only, I'm not sure.

If I find anything more that would be a help I'll post it for you.

A very basic explanation of Debian Installer, or d-i, is that when Debian is being installed an installation menu is followed. Special packages called udebs (a udeb is a special lightweight deb used when installing Debian) are installed 1 at a time following the menu order, the package is configured for installation, it asks d-i a question (check sample preseed files for the questions), d-i give the answer, the package installation is finalised and the process moves to the next package. You the user do not see much of what happens, from what I understand most of the questions are pre answered (possibly within the udeb itself) so you don't get asked them. The questions you do get asked are things like user preferences (locale, keyboard, partitioning, admin password, username and password, GRUB, etc.) and these are in the preseed file.

Anaconda is from Red Hat Corporation and is used by Red Hat derivatives, from my limited understanding of Anaconda it basically does the same thing as d-i but in a different way.

If you want to incorporate d-i into an LFS install you will probably have to modify the LFS source packages or trick d-i to recognise non Debian source packages. I can't, personally, see an easy way to do this. I would recommend you take a look at this page.

hank you to all
I will continue to seek and when I succeeded I'd share with you the solution
and if someone finds something feel free to share with me

Your Welcome-
