i downloaded the Debian Potato Test Cycle 2 CD images and installed it on my home machine overtop of the Mandrake 7.1 i was testing :)
ABit BP-6 1 Celeron 400 128MB RAM Diamond Stealth III 540 (32MB AGP) 30GB ATA66 HD (Highpoint controller) 4GB ATA33 HD (Intel PIIX) IDE ZIP-100 Plextor 32/8/4 CDRW it went perfectly! (other than a partitioning glitch that was entirely my fault. still learning to read...) i've been banging on it for a few days now with no problems at all to report. i started the install by booting from the first CD. the installation seemed to be much smoother and faster than before (the last version i installed from CD at home was 2.0, and this is a vast improvement. skipped the 2.1 CDs, but had a 2.1 system via lots of Zipdisks). I installed it as the only OS on the 4GB drive. it didn't see the ATA66 drive by default, but going to a custom 2.3.99 kernel solved that. great work, people. i'm eagerly awaiting this release. -- eric a.
