Written in response to "After using the Debian-Installer, please send us an installation report, even if there weren't any problems." the feedback link is to http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/ch05s03.html#submit-bug the suggestion and link found on http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/
Following that suggestion it was more general than a bug report, and more like user feedback. Bug report may indeed not be the right place for this type of feedback. If such feedback is desired, perhaps this link/suggestion should be to updated to suggest some place different. If such feedback is a waste of time, perhaps the suggestion should be removed. (it is why for example i mention things like the lack of "screen" encountered as an issue when i then needed to set up the network I was left without after the installation.) A couple of comments below, but the installations were smooth. Thanks.

I have not explored, what is expected of the standard installation without "desktop". I thought this would be a convenient state to have the installation in, if it was not incompatible with intent. > > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) > > iD8DBQFEGPv51OXtrMAUPS0RAtQTAJ9LNGYf4SsLEgTmCGiCVfqxp64mPACgvf6H > nEYoRkA9Xj9PDlnxEc//UDw= > =zyEB > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > > -- email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SiSU: http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu
