So, everything has gone very smooth. I am no wizard at all, this was only my second debian installation (last one with the "classic" method a couple of years ago). Within 3 hours my box was configured and ready to go (thanks to my company network connection). First time, btw, I used a precompiled kernel. It works fine despite its howfully heavy... Anyway, manythanks to the debian installer team, it is nearly ready to be put into hands of busy people. If one thing, maybe a bit more of interactive help would be welcome. Meaning that for instance it took me ages (I am certainly among busy people) before finding out that I had to mark a partition as "To be formated" before to be able to assign a type to it. My gosh I was expecting a lot of trouble and few days sweeting on my box. Thanks. Etienne. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
