Base System Installation Checklist:
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it
Initial boot worked: [O]
Configure network HW: [O]
Config network: [O]
Detect CD: [O]
Load installer modules: [O]
Detect hard drives: [O]
Partition hard drives: [O]
Create file systems: [O]
Mount partitions: [O]
Install base system: [O]
Install boot loader: [O]
Reboot: [O]
Comments/Problems:
* base-install worked fine
* base-config worked, but was unable to identify the graphics chip
[intel 945GM] so I have to use vesa driver to get X running
- thanx for the quick help from bugs.debian.org
* didnt yet check all the builtin peripherals / devices of the notebook
* why isnt fetchmail included in the default desktop-environment
packages?
* would be nice to have a "back to previous screen" function
in base-config - I selected wrong item, intuitively tried to
<ESCAPE> back - that of course didnt work but caused base-config to
continue with next step and as beginner it was hard for me to find out
the right config-tool afterwards.
* in all HowTos RUNLEVEL 2 is said to be an environment without X.
But in this installation it seems to be identical with RUNLEVEL 3
Dont like that cause I like the black&white 80x25 Linux - still
exploring how to switch without reboot...
* the greatest moment during installation was when I pressed ENTER to
start partitioning: Kill WinXP - I want LINUX!!

If I recall correct then is "base-config" changed in that area.
(you tested "sarge(3.1)", current work is on the "etch" release)

For switching runlevels there is the 'telinit' command.
But I think you are bitten by the behaviour of the display manager,
it is started at runlevel _2_. If you just want to use B&W 80x25,
I suggest to remove the display manager. (e.g. `apt-get remove gdm` )

Cool. There is one thing you should realise:
Your computer is counted as a Windows XP system.
Your hardware vendor doesn't known you wiped Microsoft Windows XP.
Please buy your next computer with the operating system you actual use.
Anyway: Have fun with your Debian GNU/Linux computer.
Cheers
