Cheers!

Could you try to come up with a slighty different wording for this feature in
future? It is very close to "fully automatic installations", which is FAI, as
you know, and I fear this will confuse users? maybe "completly automated
installation" would be fine as well?

Previously you wrote that this might be desireable to switch ppc to this too,
what's your take on this now?
The pre-rc1 daily floppies booted on my oldworld g3, but the root floppy
failed with "Ramdisk: Compressed image found at block 0\nNo filesystem could
mount root, tried cramfs\nKernel panic - not syncing VFS unable to mount root
fs on unknown-block (1,0)".
I will (hopefully, $work$ is taking most of my time atm) redo my powerpc test
this week(end) and then immediatly send bug reports this time. On my newworld
g3 imac, d-i and g-i worked pretty well with only some minor issues, some not
even d-i related.
regards,
Holger
