Comments/Problems: After initial menu no selection allows install to
complete. Screen goes blank and activity ceases. No cursor and no text.
This is an older
machine that does not allow use of ACIP. Debian 9.8
stretch runs fine.
I do like how quickly the initial menu comes up. All
of the boot / install process should go that fast as well as the final
boot splash response
on boot load.
Much more attention should be paid to user feedback
of system activity. Just sitting waiting for the next display is not
enough. Newer machines
don't even have a disk activity indicator. It is not
possible to tell what is going on nor if there is a problem. Use the
wait cursor much more
and include status message much more where
appropriate.
Overall I much prefer Debian and LMDE to Ubuntu base
even with Cinnamon. Hoping for same result from 10.
