Goal
Create an Ubuntu installation system which runs within the Ubuntu live CD environment and works by copying and customizing the live CD filesystem rather than installing packages.
Requirements
- Reuse existing installer components for configuration
- Ask all questions at the very beginning of the process
- Display one big progress bar for the rest of the process
Agenda
- How to refactor existing installer components to allow them to be used in the live environment
- Custom components needed
- Graphical partitioner
- User interface
- GNOMEish frontend (but allow for KDEish frontend as well)
- Limitations
- Can't be used for upgrades
- Can't easily be used for server installations (especially not via serial console)
- Specialized for the common case desktop installation
