Maybe I should abandon Debian for the reason that only the text installer
seems to work.
Something odd I have noticed with various graphical installers: Ubuntu,
Kubuntu, and Debian graphical installers all say, "cannot find file" when I
try to use them. I can only install Debian through the text installer. While
Ubuntu and Kubuntu fail to install (possibly due to graphical
incompatibilities rather than a faulty installer), the Trisquel and Linux
Mint (which, as you know, are based on Ubuntu) graphical installers work
flawlessly. This might also be because I need new DVD-RWs. Do DVD-RWs
normally become more and more faulty over time?
I have read the list of free GNU/Linux distros from gnu.org.
