everything basically works. that's one potential goal i'd like to see
debian-np achieve.
One thing that knoppix has that's really cool is an installer program
that you run after you've booted from the cd. It's a kde app i believe,
or maybe a script that calls artsdialog or something, and it asks you a
very minimal set of questions, and then copies itself to your drive.
Also, I wrote the gtk interface for debian-installer, which wasn't
finished. But, maybe debian-np could have a more limited set of
hardware requirements, making an X based installer more reasonable.
Oh, and you can disregard my last email. I just discovered the np-devel
list and started looking through the archives.
Thanks,
