Another long pause before the keyboard layout selection. (By 'long,' I mean about two seconds.) The installer does not configure non-free sources. Is this new Debian policy? (It's fairly easy to edit sources.list by hand but is there a way for a new user to do this as an option in the install?) Good things: Autodetecting modules is very nice--I had to manually figure out which network card VMware used with woody's install and add the module for it. Mirror selection is better. stable/testing/unstable is a nice touch. The partioner is fantastic--especially easy on the empty (emulated) disk I used. I prefer this installer's Grub to woody's default LILO. Sound works with no manual intervention on this setup. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
