I will likely be installing Sarge onto a 486sx25 Sorry, it wasn't meant as a flame, I just happen to think that bochs is slow and that optimizing an installer for speed on bochs is low priority. > with 16mb of ram later...

Any suggestion for improvement in anna's template description is welcome. I'm planning on expanding the choices in the list with whatever will be installed automatically (them all being default to yes of course), so a nitpick can remove the ones they don't like, and in any case, it'll be a lot more visible that things are actually going to be installed. However, I think that question is very scary for a first time user, and for anyone installing from CD or a decent net connection, the default *should be fine*. I.e. a nitpick should pick debconf priority low. Any ideas?
