Comments/Problems:
Everything worked well. I like EXT3 as default FS. DHCP worked. I like aptitude in
the setup. My USB mouse was autodetected and worked in X. Nitpick: I wish that there
were an option during setup to enable directory colors, I'm tired of editing the "."
files for root, initial non-root user, and skel.
Thanks so much for helping to make a very usable disto even better. Keep up the good
work!
