Comments/Problems:
Had to move to Sarge because KDE in Woody is ancient and available backports at kde.org broke my system. Moreover my harddisk was not recognized by the Woody installer.
The new installer rocks. The only irritating part is that the initial suggestion for geographical location is based on Language choice. Many people, if not most people (at least from the Netherlands) using Debian use US/Brit English because translations are almost always better and more completely in English, and because English is, or should be the lingua franca of the internet.
Anyway, keep up the good work!
Declare Sarge stable ASAP Plz... ;)
