Bug#256237: closing bug

You can't really compare a modern netbook or virtual machines on any modern
computer to the performance of a 6 bogomips (yes, six) m68k.
In order to test this bug, one would need to use the slowest machine
possible that is able to run squeeze. And it'd still be much faster that
the particular machine I was using back then (and that was supported in
Debian, back then)

This is probably true, although impossible for me to test.

I've tried the current installer with quite a lot of machines. However,
the machines that triggered my complain are no longer supported by Debian,
and so it's really not possible to test if this is the case or not anymore.
I guess it's ok to close the bug even if it might not be fixed, since the
hardware I mentioned in my complain is no longer supported by the
installer. Which is sad, but I guess it's how life goes.
