Comments/Problems:
The very disappointing problem was that every time I tried to install the
system would lock on the "grub-install". I couldn't do anything but
reboot. Once there, I noticed that the grub package hasn't been even
installed because my old boot loader was still there.
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
and ideas you had during the initial install.>
Despite that, the new installer is very promising. Keep up the good work.
Debian is so great.
