Debian and its clones Debian hacker Robert Millan has just announced the availability of a Debian-Installer Loader for win32. The program, inspired by Ubuntu's similar project, features 64-bit CPU auto-detection, download of linux/initrd netboot images, and chainloading into Debian-Installer via grub4dos. A frontend site has been setup for advocacy purposes.

sure it is a good idea.... The process itself has been around for a long time - just now we have a friendly front end to it.

I rarely burn a cd anymore. I use the hd-media and install from my harddrive (not windows tho) it seems faster and I do not wear out my CD drive.

I find it funny that we need a nice front-end.exe but I guess it is alright. Not a big fan of making everything so easy that nobody has to learn anything but that may just be me....
