You might like to try the new debian installer (http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/) which is in development at the moment. It's at beta 3. It autodetects a lot of hardware, and if you're lucky consists of mostly pressing enter. > And to get away from M$ ("winzigweich") you should try a RH and SuSe install > and then judge for yourself..... which install looks nicer? which installer > is simpler to use for the average user? which installer has tons of > information on any subject you can click with your mouse? The installer is currently all text based, but it's modularised and will allow people to write a graphical frontend to it really quickly. I'll assume there will be lots of information in the frontend on the particular options that presented. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
