This is just a "me too". (similar to Russ and Andreas) I have spent many years with Debian (~25 for me), and if the old folks can't manage to use the free official installers, then I think/agree that it's outright hypocrisy to nudge new users into this pitfall. I'd be very happy with option 5, and I'm in the camp of those who like a strictly opt-in solution (that can be preseeded) mfh.her.fsr IOhannes
