Main comments are: * The initial net install gave me no option but to download from ftp.au.debian.org, which from Australia is slooow :-( * The generated LILO configuration is rather minimal and in particular doesn't pause much to let you press Shift to interrupt it * I didn't get a lot of choice in whether or not I was going to get pcmcia-cs installed, and it's pointless on my system other than that, it was really really straightforward. It seemed to completely bypass network configuration presumably because it got a DHCP lease successfully. Only complaint here is I didn't get an opportunity to set the hostname, and localhost is so Red Hat... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
