From: Jason Heeris on 4 Jun 2010 12:20 Hi, A while ago I created a USB stick to install Debian from, as per [1] â I seem to recall I needed to get the graphical installer from the "gtk" subdirectory to get the graphical install mode (of course). Indeed it's still there for Lenny [2]. But when I tried to create a more up-to-date version just now, I noticed there's no such subdir for Squeeze [3]. I already have the debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso, but using the normal vmlinuz/initrd.gz combo only brings up the text mode installer â even with a syslinux.cfg containing: default vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.gz video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr vga=792 ....so what do I need to get for a fancy GTK looking installer? (Please CC me on replies.)

Hi, I don't know if you are doing a build from the debian-installer package... But the graphical install is not working right now in squeeze/testing, there is a working version in unstable. This is due to a migration from framebuffer to X. If you want a graphical d-i I suggest you to build it in an unstable chroot or taking a daily-generated image from the d-i svn. Greetings, -- ,''`.

Sounds exciting :) Or painful... or both... > If you want a graphical d-i I suggest you to build it in an unstable chroot or > taking a daily-generated image from the d-i svn. I'll give it a shot.
