3 reactions - Thanks! > try the new installer
Too late - there was a 6-hour window between my report and the moment the machine was really in use. Cannot reinstall now without disrupting stuff. >> [during installation of a new Debian system - select All packages] >> No conversation at all should occur while files are being installed on-disk. >> On the other hand, no daemons or so should be started without confirmation. >> A security risk. > Do not install those packages, then. Wrong answer. I do not install "those packages". I install "All". The number of packages will slowly grow and it will become less and less feasible to start a conversation about individual ones. Selecting "All" during installation is a much weaker commitment than something like "apt-get install". It does not follow that I know what the package is or does, or that I want to use it, or that I want to configure it. > What you seem to expect is probably against Debian philosophy. If so, then perhaps Debian philosophy will have to change. Andries -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
