Comments/Problems:
Bad things/comments:
After choosing the language, there is an oddly long pause before
the country or region dialog shows up. Another long pause before
the keyboard layout selection. (By 'long,' I mean about two seconds.)
The installer does not configure non-free sources. Is this new Debian
policy? (It's fairly easy to edit sources.list by hand but is there
a way for a new user to do this as an option in the install?)
Good things:
Autodetecting modules is very nice--I had to manually figure out
which network card VMware used with woody's install and add the
module for it. Mirror selection is better. stable/testing/unstable
is a nice touch. The partioner is fantastic--especially easy on the
empty (emulated) disk I used. I prefer this installer's Grub to woody's
default LILO.
Sound works with no manual intervention on this setup.
