This is a new installation procedure, allowing easy installation
of Linux-Mandrake. It has just been integrated in Cooker, our
experimental distribution. Panoramix is entirely written in Perl
which is interface independent, offering contributors an easy and
flexible way to contribute. This beta version features the
integration of Diskdrake, a complete hard-drive partitioning tool,
that offers users a simple graphic tool for completing the painful
partitioning phase while installing Linux.
MandrakeSoft maintains Red Hat compatibility and the well-proven
Red Hat installation to provide its users a choice. Panoramix
enables users to install Linux-Mandrake per CDRom or network, and
counts several use-levels to allow new comer, as well as hackers to
easily install Linux. Panoramix also implemented a new powerful
kickstart mode from Red Hat that enables users to quickly install
Linux on several identical machines. Panoramix has been designed to
be the fastest easiest to use, and more powerful graphical
installation in the Linux market.
Panoramix is part of Cooker.
