When i installed debian slink last week all i did was select the "preselected packages" for a normal computer with gcc, X and those things. What is so hard about that? And when i wanted to install something.. like aumix, i just ran apt-get install aumix from the cdrom. I do not realy see the hardness in those things..
For a beginner who do not know a bit on unix programs.. those "preselected" things are probably the best thing. Go ahead and ask a windows geek if he/she would prefer windowmaker or afterstep.. you wont get a good answere :) So, as a pretty normal beginner on linux, i would say that it's not that hard to install debian, the information is just a bit badly written (slink). I did not see that preselected things after a few tries :) On 8 Apr 2000, John Hasler wrote: > Jeronimo Pellegrini writes: > > Anyway - for those who find dselect to be non-intuitive: did you try > > console-apt? > > Yes, but dselect is what new users are faced with when they attempt to > install Debian. it is what has earned Debian its reputation as the most > difficult distribution to install. > -- > John Hasler > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Dancing Horse Hill > Elmwood, Wisconsin > > > -- > Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null >
