Hi Raju,
Good to see you using pgp but it's good when you are sending encrypted 
mails to somebody, it's sorta useless on a public mailing list other 
than making a statement, although I have also done it in the past :)

I do agree that D-I is complicated but which one have you used, did you 
try the expert one only or also the one which is the GUI one which has 
come in the last couple of releases. Do you think even that one is 
complicated ?

I would caution you with this one as this one is pretty old so there is 
and would be lot of cruft to work through. I do see however that almost 
7-8 people have forked it in the recent months but none of them have 
made any commits on the same.

The live installer also resides at 
https://github.com/linuxmint/live-installer so you could look at that as 
well.

I do agree it would be better if we have a slicker looking installer, I 
am ok with either as the licensing of both is same/similar.

mint-debian-installer is also gpl2 so that's good :)

Rest is upto the team :)
