New name for the installer

[Forum Admin dolphin_oracle]

There is an effort under way re-unify the installer code base between antiX and MX, and give the installer some new tricks both on the user side and the developer/maintainer side.

But

We need a new package name for the installer, as they are currently

antix-installer

and

mx-installer

Creative names, right?

anyway, Please post any name suggestions you may have. Its not strictly speaking limited to function, it could have a totally strange name, as with “ubiquity” or “calamares”. The idea is to have one name, without the “antiX” or “MX” lablels.

Just be aware that this is a brainstorming excerise, and that there is no guarantee that we will use any name submitted. But believe me, naming ideas are welcome!

Thanks.

d.o.

Thank you for putting up with my sense of humor (or lack thereof). Here’s my actual suggestion (for what its worth)…

spartan-installer

Spartan definition:

adjective
1. Also, Spartanic
[spahr-tan-ik] of or relating to Sparta or its people.
2. suggestive of the ancient Spartans; sternly disciplined and rigorously simple, frugal, or austere.
3. brave; undaunted.

The installer button could work like this while the installer is running.

Thank you everyone for the brainstorming ideas. we are nearing completion of the code, and will settle on a name before we head to get the translations up to date.

I appreciate all the ideas and comments.
