You and I might know this. I only know it because I've been running into problems because of it. The arbitrary clueless person doesn't know it. > About an automated install, did you tried the "auto" way? Yes, and it didn't work, either. It doesn't matter, though, because the automated way doesn't create the RAID and doesn't even partition in a way I would want. How is it supposed to know what I want? > Well, honestly, I think the better thing for a true end-user system would > be an installer which install a debian stable distro with non-free enabled > by default, Pre-installed would be better. Look at a modern HP notebook, for example. You install the battery and you turn it on and the battery is even charged enough so that it runs. It'll ask you what language you want to use and what language keyboard you have and maybe for a user name and some passwords, and that's it. That windoze and the default setup they use suck isn't the point. You do get a working system, and everything works. It takes only about 10 minutes, depending on how fast you are, and you don't need another already working computer to download extra stuff or to look for information. That's probably what's called "end user system". It's totally useless to me other than for preparing to put Debian on it, and the arbitrary clueless user will be really happy with it until they begin to understand the limitations, which they probably never will. -- Debian testing amd64 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
