hello enyone
i want a linux installer simillar Anaconda or Debian-Installer but very simple and text base .that it doing
creating partition and install grub and myown distro .
my semi-educated guess: I think package managers are typically supplied as part of a distribution--if nothing else, they need to be configured to connect to the repositories, to interface with the config files, filessytem setup, etc.
this said, my #1 favorite CLI package manager is "pacman" (used by Arch). I'm sure that it could be adapted to work with your distro. would it be worth the effort? I don't know.
i want a installer for install my distrobition or myown os in raw hard disk.
we create a a lfs system and we want to create a installer for install it on
a hard similar fedora or ubuntu installer.
for example Anaconda installer of fedorea that detect hardware and partiontion
hard and intsall fedora on a hard.

I doubt such a thing exists. Each installer was made specifically for the distribution.
Using a little programming you Should be able to get one to work on your own LFS system.
What I would do is tar up the LFS filesystem and untar it on the new computer. Then edit the configuration files based on my needs. If you made a modular kernel then this should be fairly easy.
Another thing about those distro installers mentioned above is that they are usually part of a live system on a CD, DVD, or pendrive. Right? I guess that's what saeedsssss wants... a live system that is booted from a CD or DVD that also has the "distro" tarball on there. And the live system would need the utilities for partitioning and installing GRUB (as saeedsssss said). Maybe after building a live system for a bootable disk (or hacking an existing one), an interactive script could do the partitioning, extract the tarball, and install GRUB. It sort of works in my head, but I personally don't have any interest in such a thing to try it.
hello stoat.
what do other installers for example Anaconda or Debian-Installer or Ubiquity for install a operation system.
we see they have a graphic installer so my questin is
1-there is a installer(simple) for use?
2-how to create a graphics installer for create partitions and install grub and then install my os?.

Well, they exist usually on a CD or DVD with a live system. The disk is booted and a kernel is running. The installer and any utilities it needs run in that live system. Linux installers all do basically the same things. They create, delete, and format partitions. That right there can quickly become complex in some situations (LVM, RAID arrays, etc.). Then they usually offer sets of packages for various types of systems or allow custom package selection. Considering how, say, Arch and Slackware do that from source, that would be another daunting challenge to create from nothing IMO. You would more likely have a base system tarball to install, and that's all. Then they usually wrap up with installing the boot loader.

Not that I know about.

That is way above my skill level, and not even on my interest radar screen. That's why I said earlier that I would probably have to use some kind of interactive script to function as an installer.
