Even if they appear to succeed on the day, installfests can set up bad situations, if people go home with a system that they don't understand, and without a strong connection to anyone who can help them when they have a problem later. (That's without thinking of not-yet-fully-supported new hardware/accidentally lost data/etc. which can cause more immediate problems.) -- Moray _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
