Open Source Unix Shell Installers for Mac

UBCD allows users to run floppy-based diagnostic tools from most CDROM drives on Intel-compatible machines, no operating system required. The cd includes many diagnostic utilities and can also be used to provide shared internet access or browse the web.

A web based GUI for managing PXE boot and optionally managing DHCP service. Also supports creating and serving Kickstart and preseed scripts. This provides a client install in one click. This is a generic framework created to work with anything that's PXE bootable. Adding new hosts can be done via "PXE enrollment" where the client PXE boots to enroll into OneClickKick. Easily integrated with existing naming sources such as NIS and LDAP for central lookup of host and mac address information. OneClickKIck can also be integrated with FreeIPA (www.freeipa.org) to allow adding and modifying hosts directly in IPA.

PiWriter is (Yet another) tool to help you make bootable SD-cards for your RaspberryPi in Mac OS X. But it's not limited to just RaspberryPi. You can use it to copy every bootable .img file to both internal and removable disks. The Universal DMG works for both PowerPC and Intel systems and runs on all OS versions supporting Cocoa. PiWriter2 initial release is now available in the download section. It features drag and drop support to detect the SD card. Click the 'Files' link to check it out!

NOTE: THIS PROJECT HAS MOVED TO GITHUB. Download from http://nquake.com Source code: http://github.com/nquake QuakeWorld is a very fragmented game. Installing QuakeWorld involves installing Quake, downloading a client, downloading textures, scripts, addons, maps and much more. nQuake does all this for you with a simple online installer. nQuake always installs a completely updated package of QuakeWorld that simply works. nQuake has become the standard within QuakeWorld, so even if you don't like the content of nQuake, it's a very good base for your installation. If you run into problems - simply install nQuake fresh and modify it until you are satisfied. Getting help with issues you bump into will be a lot easier if you started out with nQuake.

PROJECT MOVED: https://github.com/vstavrinov/install-debian ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Boot Live CD, just type install-debian and after 5 minutes You will get bootable system. It supports software RAID and UEFI boot. All settings if not defined in config file or as command line options, will be set to it's defaults either as constant values or evaluated from running system. By default it chooses largest disk for installation. If there are more then one such disk of the same size, it makes RAID array. Separate partitions are used for /boot, and /, and logical volumes for /usr, /var, /tmp and /home. Only minimal disk space are allocated. You should expand (may be done online) logical volumes and file systems when You need to get more disk space. Also there are option to install system into single pre-mount point. In this case partitioning and mounting every part leave on Your own.
