Debian-Installer Loader

Debian-Installer Loader is an application meant to provide users with the possibility to quickly install Debian GNU/Linux on a computer that is already running under Windows, on top of Microsoft's operating system.

With the help of the win32-loader component of Debian-Installer, users can start loading the Debian installer either from a network location or a CD-ROM, so as to replace their operating system.

The tool automatically downloads the Debian installer and kernel from the official mirrors, places them in a Windows directory, and modifies the bootloader to allow users to choose between Windows and Debian at boot time. On the next reboot, users can continue the installation of Linux.

Users can easily uninstall the win32-loader, directly from the Control Panel. When doing so, they also remove the Debian-Installer image and the kernel. Moreover, the original Windows bootloader settings are restored during the uninstallation process.

For those out of the loop, we should note that Debian GNU/Linux has been built as a free operating system and that it is maintained by hundreds of volunteers from all over the world.
