The installer should realize I don't have a floppy drive and stop any further probing for that device. Just a small annoyance that could easily be smoothed over. Install was very smooth. I especially liked the option not to probe my monitor using DDC because the Fedora Core 1 and Suse installers both probed and crashed my computer at monitor detection (and FC1 would still probe even if I passed noprobe and noddc!). Fedora and SUSE also choked on usb autodetection (SUSE says the KV7 has a buggy BIOS). Debian-install is the only installer I've found that doesn't choke on my hardware so far.
