Phinos is the PhoeNUX OS Installer.

This depends on Perl-Qt 3.009-b2, RPM 4.2.3, and KDE 3.4.x. It's supposed to be used with a live CD environment that contains the RPM packages to install the OS.

I am open to the idea of having it be usable with apt-rpm, Debian apt, dpkg or Slackware's package tools. Also I'll be willing to entertain making it distribution agnostic so it can be used with ANY flavor, as long as folks are willing to help add in the needed support.

If you want to use this for installing your OS, please be kind and a) drop me a note, b) honor the license (GPL) and send all changes upstream so we all can benefit, c) patch out the logo from PhoeNUX and references to our distribution as it is our trademark.

KNOWN BUGS:

RPM dead locks around a third of the way through the installation.

Patches are welcome.

What's New in This Release:
fixes a number of crash bugs caused by scoping of the i18n function, plus several typos in the code. So this time it SHOULD actually work.
