>From the user point of view, the new debian-installer looks almost like boot-floppies (plus some bits of hardware autodetection). So, quite no step has been done on the user friendliness side. >From the developer point of view, debian-installer is much more maintainable that boot-floppies. So, it is going be easier to make it ready quickly for next Debian releases (boot-floppies have been the bottleneck of past releases). -- Jérôme Marant
