That's a bug, not a feature. I'd like to see the installation of Debian be as hard as "installing" your TV: plug in some wires and hit the power button. > A wrong answer and > you could wipe all your data. The software should (ultimately) prevent that. It's been a while since I installed Debian, but I'd like to see X get launched ASAP (assuming the user isn't using a dumb terminal) so that GUI programs can lead the user through the installation. It would make Debian look a whole lot more professional, and enable more people to use it. The use of aptitude is NOT obvious by looking at it. Synaptic is a lot better in this regard. A GUI installer would also be more usable by appealing to the users' emotions. -- Bill Wohler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
