I just put Debian 1.2 onto my new server system. I used the NFS method from dselect. Worked like a charm. The installation process is a huge improvement over Debian 1.1. I think it was easier to install than when I installed RedHat 3.0.3. Congratulations, guys. I only encountered one show stopper. When I installed the X packages, I couldn't log in from xdm. Here's the source of the problem: Bug#5949: xlib6 doesn't add /usr/X11R6/lib to ld.so.conf? The only clue that this is happening is that there is a .xsession-errors file left in the users home directory. I think a newbie would have a tough time figuring this one out. Other notes: - modconf scrolled up part of the screen 1 line in the middle of drawing the screen where you configure the net modules. Not a showstopper, but it's a little hard to decipher. I'll file a bug report. - we still need a newbie interface to dselect that allows someone to select groups of packages instead of forcing them to confront 848 software packages - my system hung once, but I think it was due to an IRQ conflict with my network card That's all, - Jim
