Comments/Problems:
Installer had red background. Your errata said that you were interested
in hearing from people with this phenomenon.
Mirror site SunSITE at University of Alberta could not be used for
install - a friend mentioned that this had been broken for some time
(can't find exact hostname right now)
Installer does not install xterm, so, "failsafe terminal" session option
(at graphical login screen) does not work. Oops?
Timezone was set to EDT, even though _Mountain_ time (Canada->Mountain)
was chosen. (note with uname output that I have not fixed this yet).
Not sure if this is part of the installer- after reboot, asked for
1280x1024 resolution in post-installer. Got 800x600 resolution
configured instead. Had to go into X config file and add extra modes by
hand. Seemed to detect proper refresh rates for monitor, etc. though.,
so, not sure what broke there.
Otherwise, no major problems. My first working Debian install is now
running.
