Are you sure the first successful installation of Debian happened during DebConf3? I remember giving a talk about Skolelinux at that conference and how Skolelinux used d-i to automate the Debian installation. During the talk I ran the installation as a demonstration, and I suspect I would not have tried to do this if I had not done a d-i installation before DebConf3. But my memory is flaky, so I just wanted to ask if anyone remember when d-i actually was able to install Debian for the first time. > This reinvigorated our team, leading to many new members, more rapid > development, and many more developer gatherings.

Yeah. :) -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen _______________________________________________ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
