Your 'most' does not match mine. I played with FAi once, for a project where I'd have to do some reproducible installations. That was in 2004. Since then, every bare-metal Debian installation that I've done (and there have been hundreds, if not thousands) has been done using d-i (often with preseeding to automate things, though). d-i is our default installer. There are alternatives, yes; but let's not assume it's not used very much and therefore it doesn't matter what it does. It's used a lot, in my experience. -- To the thief who stole my anti-depressants: I hope you're happy -- seen somewhere on the Internet on a photo of a billboard
