1) The damn keys. I have installed debian 4 times, and I still have to
read the keystroke page very often.
2) The oh-so-long 600 packages list.
But I really don't like the Redhat 3.0 installer. It's ugly. If we were to
make an X version of dselect, it should look pretty.
The installation procedure is *very* important, because a new Debian user
should instantly get the feeling he's done the Right Thing :-)
All The Best,
