I got a simple question that I’d like to ask
If it is not too difficult or burdensome a task
How come we need live media? To install stuff I mean
If we already have five distros running as routine.
Why not a simple script
Or installer thing
That would simply take an ISO
And set it up in a ding
To our favourite partition
With presets you could choose
From a simple little menu
With no need to confuse
I mean why really go through
The whole rigmarole
Of using grub or beef stew
And dig yourself a hole?
Notes:
Yes, it is the Bulworth TV interview revisited.
In prosaic (as in using prose :·) English, it could run: Why use a (compulsory) live medium - DVD, USB, SDcard - to install a Linux distro when it could easily be done with a clever script, an ISO, and not using grub to start with?
