<p>create project page for a cross-platform, cross-distro Starch installer</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>== What is it? ==<br /> The [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Taxonomy#Starch.28es.29:_A_complete_disk_image_for_Sugar Starch] installer is a work-in-progress project for providing a single, cross-platform installer for most or all distribution images including Sugar. The idea is to provide a single application and single set of instructions for installing a fully operational system including Sugar.<br /> <br /> == Goals ==<br /> * cross-platform installer (i.e. can be run on Mac OS X (Intel/PPC), Windows and as many Linux/BSD/whatever (any architecture) distros as possible)<br /> * cross-distro installation (i.e. can install Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, ... images)<br /> * installation to flash media (USB stick, SD card) and hard disk, supporting several disk layouts<br /> * &quot;lightweight&quot; (small download size, low RAM requirement)<br /> * modularized for easy extension<br /> * configurable to allow presetting source + target options (e.g. SoaS could preset the source to /dev/live)<br /> * works both outside Sugar and as an activity (Journal integration for downloads)<br /> * GUI and CLI modes<br /> * offline (use pre-downloaded image) and online (download image) operation<br /> <br /> == Non-goals ==<br /> * &quot;native&quot; distro installation, i.e. using RPM/deb/... packages as source (though distros are able to write a module to do this)<br /> <br /> == Features ==<br /> * can use local copy of image (already downloaded file, /dev/live) or download via internet, including updating an existing image (via rsync)<br /> * automatic detection of source image type (e.g. Fedora Live ISO, Debian Live ISO)<br /> * automatic detection of target devices (needs platform/distro specific modules)<br /> * supports verification (PGP, SHA-*) of images</div>
