Comments/Problems:
I have installed Debian many times to EIDI drives, this is the first install to a SATA drive.
Although this is not an "installer" problem, it probably helped with the confusion.
I marked "Config network" as Error, even though it worked, I found it very confusing.
A comment on starting a terminal and running pppoeconfig to install a DSL connection
would help. This wasn't a big problem for me, probably because of previous experience.
I found the partitioning area particularly confusing, even though I am not a novice at
partitioning hard drives. I ended up choosing auto-config and ended up with a huge /home
partition...much more than is reasonable.
Thanks....the product is getting better...
Phil
