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.

This is fixed in the daily builds, and the soon forthcoming beta4, by
making it not probe the floppy.
Thanks for your report.
