Simply removing your from the text above would produce an ungrammatical sentence. I disagree anyway - your is used all over the place in d-i strings and doesn't sound at all unprofessional to me. It's reasonable to avoid anthropomorphising the computer, but there's nothing wrong with directly addressing the user.

I think I removed the first your already because it scanned better. Seems fine by me. I suggest that thius tasksel does not migrate to testing (ie not used for beta3) because the change obviously breaks all translations and will make tasksel untranslated for nearly all languages (except those that will cope with the change very quickly). signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I think I removed the first your already because it scanned better. Indeed, this way seems better (actually, that exact your bothered me, but I might have not been too clear on that). Also, note that in some situations the installation is not done on a system owned by the person doing the installation, so is more correct *not* to say your system ;-) . -- Regards, EddyP = Imagination is more important than knowledge A.Einstein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
