Re: Debian Installer

[Luke Davis <ldavis@shellworld.net>]

They work fine.  There are some module dependancies that are not there,
and which do not matter; and you are warned not to select a keymap, and
since I have never tried this, I do not know if that is an out of date
warning.
However, I have done installs twice with those disks, and am about to do
another one.

Regards,

Luke
