Comments/Problems:
Another quick install - 10mins from booting the installer to rebooting
into the base system. And for the first time ever on this machine, X
worked 'out of the box' after installing x-window-system-core and
fluxbox - no tweeking xorg.conf :)
I'm a bit confused by not being able to run lspci
The grub install was fine except there seemed to be repeat entries and
some with misleading titles. I've got 5 linux systems plus XP on this
box. Attached are the auto-generated menu.lst and a cleaned up version
removing extraneous entries. The uncleaned version booted all 5 systems
but I didn't try every entry (ie. the ones that seemed confused). This is
unlikely to be a problem many people will come across :)
I thought the sarge installer was pretty easy after woody but this is a
breeze - again ... brilliant work :)
Thanks
Clive
