Hi, I've installed Debian "testing", I have very little experience in Linux . During my installation and after solving some of my problems (I still have a few...) I wonder why isn't the OS take care for it and maybe save hours of searching :
1. It took me hours to get additional Hebrew fonts for the KDE and for the OpenOffice, I had to install 3 different packages, I figured it out from an old guide and from a forum. Why isn't the installation process ask me if I want that after it figures my regional ? 2. The installation process didn't recognize my Sound Card , as I understood from the forum I had to install and run ALSA. Since most of the PC's have Sound card why couldn't the OS after not recognizing it , ask me if I want ALSA services ...? 3.Since KDE wasn't installed I searched it in " Synaptic Package Manager " , I got a long list with short descriptions , now I had to understand what to install .... Maybe you should mark somehow the basic/core/main packages in the " Synaptic Package Manager " ? 4. In the partition process I think you should add an automatic process for defining swap + Boot and then let the user change it . Pls look at my questions above as a constructive criticism that maybe will help other install Debian. In the very short time that I use Debian I really enjoy it and the technical support that I get . Thanks, Rafi
