The Squeeze installer is good.
To make the wireless work, I had to get some non-free firmware and the
installer told me what was required.
I just went onto the net and found the firmware required, placed it on
a USB stick where the installer found it, because it asked me if it
should look for these files, said yes, and it did.
It is a very nifty installer. The best yet, and I must congratulate all
who had anything to do with it. I hope you find it likewise.
