Comments/Problems:
I'm sorry I had to put an 'E' at initial boot. There was not a major
problem, but since we want to promote Debian: the isolinux graphical
boot screen was severely scrambled to the point that the clueless won't
know what to do. Of course, he'll try the enter key, but he won't know
anything about the possible boot options (linux26, for example). This
machine is about 5 years old and has a Trident Cyberblade i7 on board.
However, there's nothing wrong with booting linux with vesafb with
vga=0x315, so I don't really know what went wrong.
Apart from this, I was very impressed by the new installer! Only
'problems' I had, were with tasksel (strange combinations of software
installed). I won't bother you with that.
Thanks for all the good work!
David
