Base System Installation Checklist: Initial boot worked: [O] Configure network HW: [O] Config network: [O] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [O] Create file systems: [O] Mount partitions: [O] Install base system: [O] Install boot loader: [O] Reboot: [O] [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Comments/Problems: The install went very smoothly. I think that the base-config could be simplified a great deal. I loved that the installer easily found and installed the correct drivers for my hardware. The base-config did not ask me for sources of non-free software, so I had to put them in sources.list manually, as well as security updates. Also, I had to hit cancel to get out of the apt configuration area. I think those were the only problems, and I assume that they're not actually due to the debian installer, but a different program.I'm going to try it on my regular machine.
