Live Installers

Like official Void, we provide a set of live images containing a bootable system with an installer. These live images are also useful for rescue.

All 6 platforms have live images, including graphical flavors.

Installer images

There are two kinds of images just like in the official distro; base images and flavor images. Flavor images come with a graphical desktop environment.

Base images

These provide only a minimal set of packages to install on the given platform. This basically means base-system plus a few extras for partitioning and so on.

Flavor images

These come with a desktop environment, a web browser and some other basic applications. Please keep in mind that the installer will only copy over the whole desktop if you use the local installation option. Network installation only installs the base system always.

Comparison of flavor images

This differs slightly from the official distro. The desktops are the same but the browsers and other applications might differ.
