Comments/Problems:
I ran into the bug mentioned on the DebianWiki: DebainInsallerBrokenThings [
http://wiki.debian.net/index.cgi?DebianInstallerBrokenThings ]. "RAID1 with
swap on the first partition and root on the second partition doesn't boot
after GRUB install. I had been tried installing a few times before seeing
that. Once I saw that I switched the partitions and it booted just fine.
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
and ideas you had during the initial install.>
The installation went very well after I found the solution. Thank you for the
built in software RAID and e1000 driver they made my life with Debian
bearable.
Is there anyway that you could have an option where you select which
distribution you would like installed?
