Comments/Problems:
i was going to just stick with sarge till august 1st, but i got bored,
turns out this is really easy way to get etch, having a clean sarge
to start. i did start up X and read my email before upgrading. i only
installed most basic add-ons xsystem-core, firefox, windowmaker/wterm.
see my previous report about failed install etch directly on
wednesday this week. scary part here when upgrade deletes /boot contents,
must apt-get vmlinux manually to refill it, then ybin.
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
and ideas you had during the initial install.>
the sarge installer is pretty good, i like the two stage process, you
can take a break if you want/need to. it went super clean here.
i am tempting to do such a clean install on my older powerbook.
going to etch this way is just a third stage. i did have advantage
i could get access to a fast connection for a few hours. all the auto configurations
worked, i didn't have to even look at the X config. one big starred message
i had perhaps better investigate telling me to purge hotplug.
Install logs and other status info is available in /var/log/debian-installer/.
