Maybe I've just been lucky so far, but other than my very Debian woody
installation, I haven't had any difficulties with the Debian installation
program/process. Most of the difficulty with my first installation was
simply that it was different than what I was used to, and the fact that I
was trying a net install. I had a little difficulty initially wrapping my
head around the Debian installation thought process.
Now, Debian installations are a breeze. I recently revisited a RH 7.2
installation process and was frustrated by how much more involved some of
the tasks in the RH installation process were compared to the woody
installation.
I'd be interested to hear what difficulties you did have and/or what
process you went through.
