Comments/Problems:
-------------------------------------
Network problems:
Installer detected 2 network cards although I only have 1 in my notebook! I had
to chose eth1 otherwise I got no network with eth0.
But with eth1 I was able to install over net.
-------------------------------------
Other problems:
When starting installer with
installgui vga=791
Installer freezed when graphical gui was started
-------------------------------------
My mouse pointer disappeared when using installgui. I have Synaptics touchpad
and I was not able to use it. Had to navigate with keyboard.
Same when I plugged in my USB mouse - mousepointer disappeared.
-------------------------------------
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
and ideas you had during the initial install.>
The installer is very comfortable but I would REMOVE one step:
- Configuration of exim mail transfer agent - why should a normal user need
this?
Beside that it was a little bit confusing to set the language settings for
select-default-wordlist, select-default-ispell etc. (can't remember the exact
names of them)
-> It would be better to ask user which language setting to use and set these
settings for all other packages as well.
Good work!
