Comments/Problems:
First of all: thank you for working on this great release of Debian!
I used the graphical, expert installation version.
I was asked three (3) times if I want to load the PCMCIA module, even I am not
on a notebook. This question allways arises if hardware is about to be added,
e.g. hard disk detection. It is reasonable to give the user a second change in
the case that he missed the PCMCIA module question the first time and now
realises that he is in need of this module. But the users who is shure not to
need it should be able to unselect this module once and for all at the first
try.
I used the guided encryptet LVM partition way. In order to set up the
encryptet partition the installer erases the entire disk. This means the disk
is overwritten with random data. For me it was not clear that I enter an 45
min. lasting task when I clicked on the "write partition" button. (Not shure
if the button is labed like this, but I hope you know which point in the
installation process I refere to.) This should be made clear to the use. At
last I got the information from the debian.org hp.
I do not know if you use "real" random or pseudo random at this point. If you
use real random I think it is hard for the machine to keep the entropy pool
filled. Perhaps one can help with a simple point and click game, a sudoku game
or a version of this "bring the 9 peaces in the right order puzzle". This will
trigger the user to move the mouse and will therefore help to produce
randomness.
I decided to use the next generaten GRUB as bootloader and had no problems.
Once again thank you for working on Debian. I hope to be of some help with
this input.
Cheers, Wolfgang
