linstaller is a modular and preseedable GNU/Linux distribution installer, written in python.

It is Semplice Linux-oriented, but thanks to its configuration system, can be adapted to many Live distributions.

The project's name has three different meanings:

• LINstaller = LINux installer
• L'installer = "The installer" in italian
• L-installer = laiv-installer, which was the name of our previous installer.

Use the distutils-based setup.py to install linstaller:

sudo python2.7 setup.py install

You can then symlink /usr/lib/linstaller/linstaller.py to /usr/bin/linstaller.

To start linstaller you should use this command:

sudo linstaller -c=semplice start

where 'semplice' is the configuration file of the distribution (currently only semplice is available). You can symlink 'semplice' to 'default' and not use the -c switch.

To specify the frontend, you can use the -f switch.
