First test subject. IBM ThinkPad R51, product name 1836Q4U. Installed
via debian-bullseye-DI-alpha3-i386-netinst.iso. Expert install via text
using a RW-CD. Language and keyboard are US English.
File systems are all ext4, on top of LVM.
Desktop: XFCE
Running expert install.
Usability note: It would be nice if the option to show a password in
clear was above the widget for entering the password. That way one
could select it or not with less tabbing.
Bug??: DI incorrectly detected this machine as having EFI.
Bug!!: I tried loading the firmware for the wifi if. DI asked all the
right questions, and I gave it all the right answers. But it never
connected. The dhcp server never got a request, and on the target
hardware, ethtool-lite reported "carrier down".
Graphics are slow but serviceable. Mozilla and LibreOffice are
pathetically slow but usable in a pinch.

Does anybody read signatures any more?
