Maybe his facts are straight. Some other people suggested he was just plain stupid. I think we should find out what gave him his impressions first; it may well be that he is stupid, but we should find out first. For example, you did indeed need 6 floppies for Debian 1.2 installation, and 5 for Debian 1.1 installation. Debian 1.3 hasn't been out long, can we assume that he did 1.3 but used all six anyway? I wouldn't. > However, I do have to agree that the select program is *painfully* slow. > Particularly with the modules; it scans for modules (several seconds on > a 486/33) each time it changes to a modules screen. Never have had the modules screen show the "+" markers properly, to say that a module is installed. Only done complete installation 3 times though.
