现在有开发者进行了一个类似的项目 Debian-Installer Loader,使之在 Windows 中安装 Debian 操作系统成为了现实。
该安装程序是为没有光驱或 USB 引导能力、不知如何烧录 ISO 或配置 BIOS、需要立即迁移到 Debian 系统、以及支持 Debina 的 Windows 用户而准备的。不过,也有用户针对此项目提出了质疑:
Well, I wonder who is next and who really needs these windows based installers? I personally think that developers should make some better things, like adding winmodem, wifi or some printer drivers to the distro, rather thean creating windows installer. Will we expect a MacOS based installer for Linux soon?
