Re: Complicated installation from USB
This kind of usability feedback is very precious to continuous effort of
'world domination' :)
We all know that with current manpower not all can be addressed but this
can be discussed for Squeeze+1 (Wheezy) if someone care to work on this.
For now it is worth:
- being documented in the BTS as a wishlist bug against debian-installer.
- continue to develop the idea from current d-i code.
Care to work on this?
