Comments/Problems:
At first, DHCP failed since the Debian installer didn't detect my
Airport card. This resulted in the screen background turning red and a
mis-rendered dialogue with no context and a message "Feel free to retry."
This should be changed to at least mention that DHCP failed, and
probably say something about connecting cables and/or consulting with
system administrator about configuration. As it is there's no context:
what exactly are you retrying?
Every so often when I switch between consoles, my screen turns red (and
then will turn blue again for no clear reason).
Partitioning was not very well automated, as I was just dumped into
pfdisk. Luckily I had previously partitioned this drive so I simply
quit. Even so, some better method must exist.
I had previously tried (and failed) to install debian-installer. As such
I didn't reinitialize any disks. When the base system tried installing,
I got an error "couldn't download exim4." I was unable to proceed.
I then tried all over again, but this time I initialized the disk as
ext3 (even though it was already initialized). This time the install
worked.
Comments on tasksel: It doesn't follow the UI of the rest of the
installer (with the default button to the bottom right). It also seems
overly fragile; it got confused when I pushed an arrow key and space bar
at the same time, and quit (dropping down to apt(itude?) to grab the
selected packages.
The default debconf priority is medium, and no chance was given to me to
raise it. I certainly don't think the default should be medium given the
current debian-installer default of high or critical (or whatever it
is).
