Can you please try a current image from http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sarge_d-i/ and see if this is still the case?

Can you see if it still takes so long? This might be a bug in GRUB (rather than in the installer).

Why would it ask after install? If you use a netboot image (without any debs), it will ask during the installation; but normally it will just take the .debs from your CD and then default to the distribution those .debs are from. -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
