You will then be given a choice of which drive or partition to install to. It's possible the above question does not appear in a normal install,
with the w32 loader it doesn't. I think
you might want to use expert mode or just use the "Back" button, it will take you to a menu with all installer steps and as far as I recall switches you to "expert" mode ;) Regards, Andrei
I don't think I'll be able to install with the expert mode...
The expert mode, however, really is for experts. Most of the time, a so-called expert mode is usually just a euphemism for "more options," but the Debian installer expert mode actually requires that the user have a decent understanding of the Debian installation process.
For example, after configuring networking and selecting the desired Debian repository, users are prompted to decide which installer components they would like to download. Many users will have no idea whether they need or want to use the "esoteric CDROM drivers," "EVMS module for debian-installer," or if they should load the "debconf preseed module."
What other option do I have?
