FS encryption support was discussed during Debconf with a fe
Hello,
I want to suggest a feature which would make Debian the world's top
distribution in that field.
I'm talking about swap + root encryption. Especially root encryption is
not so easy to set up, so a lot of people don't use it and often even
ask questions like "but why would someone want to

If netcfg/get_method were turned into a boolean question (it only has 2
choices), and renamed to netcfg/use_dhcp, then it
to use manual config.

Notice, ideally it would be possible to press a key in debian-installer
(ESC or something such) to abort the current stuff which is going on

Um, how about *medium* priority? It would be nice to have three levels:

Here's a larger question:
Why do I have to subject myself to the full-monty expert mode when
I just want one tiny feature that isn't completely covered by
normal mode? Shouldn't it be possible to dip down into expert
territory for just the parts you need fine control over, and return
to norma
Let me second Jeremy's suggestion.
I keep DHCP turned on on my router because my printer needs it, but
I much prefer to have everything (except the printer -- sigh!) have
statically assigned IP addresses. I know I could do that with
DHCP, but why bother if I don't have to?
Enjoy!
