NAME

   debian-installer-launcher - Debian Installer desktop launcher

SYNOPSIS

   debian-installer-launcher [PLUGIN] [PLUGIN_OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

   This  is a desktop launcher for Debian Installer images. It is intended
   to be used on Debian Live systems.

   You probably do not want  to  install  this  package  onto  a  non-live
   system, although it will do no harm.

OPTIONS

   PLUGIN
       specifies  which  plugin  should be used. Currently only the 'live'
       plugin is available.

LIVE PLUGIN OPTIONS

   -e, --expert
       the live plugin  defaults  to  use  standard  priority.  With  this
       option,  the installer priority can be set to low which is commonly
       known as the 'expert mode' of the installer.

   -t, --text
       the live plugin defaults to use the  GTK+  installer  frontend,  if
       available/possible.  With  this  option,  the  text frontend can be
       enforced. If used in a GUI, a terminal-emulator will be  opened  to
       show the text installer.

FILES
