my new 12 GB hard disk is the same as that of the original drive. I

If the Debian Installer has not yet been nicknamed, I would like to
do so. Let's call it "Insinuating Terrapin".
Think of the Tortoise and the Hare, and envision a hare wearing a
very special hat we are so fond of. Now picture the hare hitching a

I found that the DHCP v3 `dhclient' works much better than the

day anyway, so why not just use it?

I found the toplevel Makefile pretty annoying last time I was building
boot-floppies; it called itself recursively with a separate make

For the new installer, I think that "/etc/lilo.conf" should be pulled
out into a conffile, with the `lilo' package, and configured from
there, so that upgrading `lilo' will upgrade that also. This way,
for instance, folks upgrading `slink' to `potato' would have had an
upgraded `lilo.conf'
How should we design the `debian-installer' build system?
I think that it ought to be very granular, with a complex dependancy
structure, so that changing one thing doesn't involve a long rebuild
cycle before a testable image is generated. Makeing it work with the
`-j' switch would be a
