I am interested in this thread because I do many Debian installs sometimes several a day. My experience is not enough that I have been able to make my own custom boot cd. So I would like a lot less dialog boxes. However I am unable to say what should be removed. Maybe if there was a list right at first allowing me to choose weather I wanted default settings for partions, networking, etc. Or if I wanted to customize. because that is basically all mandarke does at each step is ask if you want it auto configured or not.On Fri, 1 Mar 2002, Eduard Bloch wrote:Phil Blundell wrote on Fri Mar 01, 2002 um 12:23:12PM: A good compromise.

I know I don't need all the dialogue boxes but my case is pretty specialized and maybe I should just learn how to write my own install program. But I would be glad to help anybody working on reducing the number of dialog boxes during the install.
