Comments/Problems: For someone who is new to Linux waiting for Grub to probe the floppy
drive takes a little while I new you could see the messages on tty3 alt-F4 some people
may think the machine is hung and not wait for the boot loader to install. Some kind of
message or a spinner to let people know it takes a while and it is still running the installer
I had the machine up running with all updates Squid installed configured and serving
the network as a proxy in about 2 hours. The best install yet of a Debian system I have
ever done. Very nice work thank very much.
