Comments/Problems:
Very impressed. This was significantly easier than my last Debian install.
This was my first exposure to GRUB and I didn't get it quite right as I
don't seem to have an option to boot into Windows. I know how to fix that
with LILO but with GRUB it is not clear to me yet.
I pretty much installed the base system and then have been doing apt-get
installs since then. Yesterday I added x-window-system and it too went jaw
droppingly smoothly. Except that it killed my ability to play sound, which I
had to fix by chmodding /dev/dsp.
I love that my USB mouse and keyboard work right away even after plugging
and unplugging them. However I could not get my printer working, but I have
zero experience with printing under Linux. It is USB, I plugged it in after
the install, it knew it was a printer, but after installing cups and lpr and
other stuff I couldn't get anything to print so I gave up.
Oh and make it easier for people to review the installer. How about a simple
html form - it has taken me three, make that four attempts to get this in
the right format
for the system! It is people like me (never done a Debian bug report) whose
input you need the most!
Keep up the great work!
Mike McKay
