Salix Forums

Is the graphical installation program available only on the live CD, or is there an option on the install CD that I'm missing?

Only on the live CD.

k, thanks.

Only on the live CD.

I would like to add that the GUI Distro Installer on the Salix LiveCD is probably the best Desktop Distro installer that I have seen to date.
Please make the Installer your Default installer on all Salix Distro CDs...

To be honest I like the text-based installer better. I am, however, searching for a distro to recommend for noobs, so the graphical installer (and this is a good one) is nice to have. Not that the text-based one is difficult, but text-based anything intimidates newcomers.

At one time I would have been right there with you.
Having seen my first Text-Based installer with Slackware 3.0 I have lost my taste for anything Curses based. These days, Looking at Midnight Commander gives me the chills..
These days a good GUI interface for anything seems to be expected and the rule.. Personally, if I want to get a single function outputted I will default to a CLI to get the quick answer otherwise for multiple inquiries I will default to a GUI interface of some kind..
I believe, The audience that you are targeting will be impressed by the Salix GUI installer.
