Yellow dog just asked. "Do you have Mac OS installed? What partition number" and the same for Mac OS X. I suspect that auto-detection will be rather hard, since you can actually install OS 9 and OS X to the same partition (and then the software "blesses" a boot folder so OF knows which to boot). I think asking the user isn't bad for a first cut. > > and that tasksel didn't install a window manager > > when I told it to install X (kind of annoying when it defaults to an X > > windows boot via gdm :-) > > That's bad.

I'm not especially familiar with tasksel - is there a way to query what tasks you have installed? Re-running it just shows the ones you /didn't/ choose. I ran dselect afterward and added some individual packages (but didn't turn any off). Thanks for all the hard work. I know that getting installers right is a royal pain. Erik
