A system builder tool for Linux images
System Installer is designed to be an installation tool that will build Linux images. I used it to create and install an image to a computer. It was also possible to build a secondary image that I could take to a different computer, and at one time I played with this feature just for the fun of it. I discovered it to be fully integrated into the System Configurator and System Imager, so the tool is quite accessible and easy to use. You can build with it many distributions, in various forms and shapes, and all that is being needed to accomplish this are a set of well defined tasks – to define and maintain a rich set of image "flavors", provide a command line and graphical interface and gather the data from the users, and pass them to System Imager and System Configurator. Linux has just become more accessible.
