Comments/Problems:
A good experience up to the point where I got asked whether
I wanted to use apt or dselect (dpkg?) to install packages.
I freaked out at the near infinite possibilities and didn't
pick anything.
I'd really like to see some broad category type install options
at this point. (e.g "personal system", "development workstation",
"headless server" much like RedHat used to do) and have them install
huge swathes of packages. Maybe analysis of the popularity contest
data can provide some useful classifications here. Maybe there could
simply be some pseudo-packages (e.g debian-development-workstation,
say) with a huge number of dependencies to suck lots of stuff in.
Post install I haven't had much luck getting xfree, gdm or even a
vnc server up and running on the machine, which is a shame as I seem
to remember it being very easy with the previously installed Woody.
(I can ssh in and tunnel X to run gnome apps no problem. In fact
I'm running evolution on the machine over X/ssh to send this email,
so my issues seem to be more to do with the X server setup; I haven't
had much time to investigate further though).
Other things:
I am a little surprised that lsmod shows pcmcia_core loaded
(none of my other non-laptop machines loads this).
