My .02: By definition the installer is most new users' first contact with Debian. We should not consider it to be 'working' if it confuses the user. Also, from a purely software engineering perspective, it's much easier to build in a hook you don't need now than to retrofit a capability you knew you needed later. IMHO at this point we should be building as many hooks as possible, since this code will undoubtedly have a life of many years. -- *------v--------- Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 --------v------* | <http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/installmanual> | | debian-imac (potato): <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | May the Source be with you | *----------------------------------------------------------------* -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
