I think that perhaps an option should be written in whether or not to check for the authenticity of packages: i.e. whether or to check md5sums etc. on a file before installing a package. Seems like everytime a package was installed I noticed the dpkg program using 24MB of memory before anything started to install. What's it doing with all that memory to install a 500k deB? I also noticed that even though I chose the Testing Distribution for an install, the installer automatically gave me the stable security.debian.org for part of my sources.list automatically. Is this a mistake? Also, I would like to see ext3 support added for the 2.2.25 installation kernel on the m68k distro. It'sbeen tested for around 3 years. I've had no problems. Why not at least allow it in the install process as <Experimental or New> with a caution. Have the m68k installer, or whoever is responsible for making the kernel for the base install use the ext3 patch and allow it as an option on the install process. This would save some people about 4-6 hours making their own kernel to add ext3 support. And it would encourage new users, if their system freezes, by not having to wait half an hour for the boot to go through a fsck. Install logs and other status info is available in /var/log/debian-installer/.
