I have installed Debian on a few boxes now and this was easy. Nice with the Debian boot logo :) - When installing the base system one should be able to back, not only to go forward or quit. First the network did not work due to firewall settings, and this caused problems. (I did not configure the network at the initial install.) Maybe you should also be informed that you can use the escape to another shell with <alt><F?> during the base-config script run. - Confusing menus for partitioning the HDD until I found out how it worked. - When replacing OSS audio modules with ALSA the old ones are still loaded on subsequent boots, causing conflicts. Recently I found out that the cause is the discover package. One should perhaps be informed in some way (maybe during base-install) that in order to avoid loading modules found at install time, you should edit the /etc/discover file. This is a third way to load modules, in addition to the /etc/modules and /etc/modules.conf files and was new for me. Install logs and other status info is available in /var/log/debian-installer/.
