Dear Maintainer,
this is a feature request: It would be nice if users would have at
least a web browser like lynx and an irc client available while they
are using the installer. There has been/currently is a lengthy
discussion about this on the debian-user mailing list starting with
Frankly speaking, I would very much prefer seeing people working on
current issues of the installer (I mean, not only during 3 months
before the release) rather than adding more bells, whistles and shiny
new features. It would be great if existing features were kept working
during the entire release process.
This is of course not targeted at you who reported this bug (don't
shoot the messenger)but more at all these people who have great ideas
on debian-user but never show up in development teams.
If you want a web browser, an IRC client, games, etc. in D-I, then
please come and first fix issues related to GRUB and encrypted
partitions, partitions sizes, preseeding, documentation, etc. *Then*
we'll see if we add a web browser.
As I tried to say elsewhere in this thread, I suspect the
solution already exists in the liveCD. [and as an aside to
Mr. Thibault the reason I believe so is having used the CD
and followed several discussions on several Debian groups]
There are icons in lower right for several workspaces.
I've seen comments about switching consoles with function
key combinations.
Should one not be able to switch out of the installation
process and into a browser (2 are already included) to
search out answers? Although launching a browser internally
and loading a specific link may be a significant effort, if
my idea is technically feasible it would apparently only
require a page of instructional text.
