Sorry, I left out important information. I did it again to test, and it was because I did expert to enable the network console installer component that I was able to bypass it. If I do not do an expert install it does not give the selection menu. I suppose that is understandable, but a warning would still be nice... if you want I'll go ahead and do another expert install and skip that... but I think that was the information you were missing to understand. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
