I went back and told it to leave the filesystem alone and it returned to its initial state. I initially chose woody instead of sarge when presented with the choice, and when I discovered that the woody files weren't on the CD there was no way to change that choice without rebooting and starting over. There should either be a way to change that choice or to not present options that aren't applicable to this particular CD. When asked where to put LILO - the existing option was a devfs path. I understood it but a newbie would shake in his or her pants. If I had needed to change it even I would have been at a complete loss as to what to put, because devfs paths are so hard to remember. A selection box would have been real nice here. The installer recognized my ide controller and disks/cdrom just fine, but when I booted into the system (kernel-image-2.4.22-1-386) they were nowhere to be found. May not be an installer issue, but it was annoying. The install worked WONDERFULLY. This has really come a long way! -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux vmacserv 2.4.22-1-686 #6 Sat Oct 4 14:09:08 EST 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C
