You must also have a huge need to answer question without reading what they are. I ain't using the Debian installer because I don't have access to the KVM (Keyboard, Mouse, etc). So if you read back my message. I boot using a rescue system over the network. I do my partition. I make the filesystem. I mount. I use debootstrap. And after I need to configure boot, this is where it blocks. Got it now ? So how useful is your answer to use "the wizard in the installer ?". And no there's no configuration helper (said it for the 3rd time now). If you can't help... Just a hint, do same as I do, you let other people answer. -- Polyna-Maude R.-Summerside -Be smart, Be wise, Support opensource development
