Bugs: Serious: (news of note I have a Lucent Winmodem) when trying to configure wvdial, I'll eventually arrive at a point where it asks a yes or no question which I believe is: Do you want to configure wvdial now? [Y/n]. I simply cannot do anything with it. I can't answer yes or no, it's simply hung up. I switched terminals and killed that particular process and resumed installation. Apt finishes the other packages and lets me know about one package not being fully installed. Apt says somethign to the effect that I can try again if I would like or skip it knowing that a package is broken. I tried again, maybe it's my slow comp and installing a billion packages so I try again when it's just one package. It still fails and I had to switch to another terminal and kill it again. Once installation is complete, I did a dpkg-reconfigure wvdial which works just fine and doesn't get stuck, although the end result is it says no modem found. I think it might be wise to skip configuring wvdial if a winmodem is detected and let the user figure it out. Maybe point them to www.heby.de/ ltmodem Trivial: Whilst configuring xserver-xfree86 discover determined my monitor just fine (MV520) however it did not set the correct Horz/Vert refresh rates using simple. (the correct ones are H:31-54, V:50-100)
