Good question, debian-www is the list to contact about www.debian.org, and debian-cd are responsible for the CDs, but on the other hand, we here are responsible for the installation program, so... :) > I'm a first-time Linux user.

I'm sorry, I fail to see how a first-time Linux user decides to go with a version called "Testing" over a version called "Stable". Where did you get the CD(s)? I know for a fact that the http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/ page says, in bold letters, "The images are only intended for testing the new installer for sarge." > When I booted from CD 1, the setup program was > completely different from the one described in your > installation manual and the Debian book I have. The installation manual is for the "Stable" release, which is the *only* version that *is actually released*. Using un-released software is at your own risk. > After spending several hours attempting to use the > setup program, and scouring the Net for advice, I > found a newsgroup post from a similarly baffled Sarge > installer.

I guess we expect new users to use the *released* versions. /Martin -- Martin Sjögren sjogren@debian.org -- marvin@dum.chalmers.se GPG key: http://www.mdstud.chalmers.se/~md9ms/gpg.html let hello = "hello" : hello in putStr (unlines hello)
