Comments/Problems:
The initial installation and reboot went 100% smoothly. The goal of my install
is to have a working KDE desktop with OO.org, Firefox and Finnish i18n on
desktop.
I did not select any packages with tasksel, since I want a KDE only workstation
and tasksel has no choice for KDE desktop. This seems to be a faq and despite it
being a faq it's overlooked by tasksel developers.

Problems
1. Exim installation asks questions that are confusing to newbies. By default
any mail delivery out or in should disabled without questions. I chose only
local delivery without network connection. Exim asks for recipient of root and
postmaster mail - this is confusing for beginners. Why not send them to root by
default? Bug #51125
2. dictionaries-common/ispell issues a warning about default dictionary been set
to finnish and not changed to american. This is an unnecessary warning message.
3. installs gcc by default - this is unnecessary, and might be a security risk
4. starting MTA (Exim) takes a long time
5. restarts MTA after removing read-edid and mdetect - restarting takes a very
long time
6. installation ready, logged in OK
7. I checked the functionality of CDROM and Floppy drive since I've had problems
with them previously on Sarge. They mounted, listed files and umounted OK in
shell.
8. apt-get install xserver-xfree86 xfree86-common x-window-system-core kde
openoffice.org
openoffice.org-l10n-fi kdm kde-i18n-fi
9. cvs installation asks about location of repositories and invalid repositories
- irrelevant questions for a desktop system. The directories should be set to
default (/var/lib/cvs) and the directory created without questions. Bug #35152
should be reopened.
10. shows a complicated message about libpango1.0-common and pango.aliases. A
very confusing message. Asks about trusting font management to defoma - this
should be set to yes and not asked. I've filed a bug against this package.
11. Tested cdrom and floppy functionality in KDE - works fine except ejecting a
cdrom. CDROM can be ejected as root only in terminal. I've filed a bug report
against this package.
Thanks for your hard work making the best OS on earth!

Given that your installation was a complete success, I do as
usual with reports for successful installations: I close the bug..:-)
This does not of course mean you weren't right to report. Knowing the
installations are correct is important for the d-i team.
Many thanks for your time testing the Debian Installer and reporting
your results. Have fun with your new Debian system!
Most of the issues you reported later have already been reported in
some manner to the relevant packages, so I won't deeply comment on
them.
Thanks for taking care writing them, though as they mostly support
several bug reports the d-i team made for these packages...
We can't really deal of analysing them deeply. Please do your best to
report them to the relevant packages if you can.
