I disagree. It even took me a while to figure out what settings I needed to get my wheel-mouse to work. It also took me a while to realize that I needed to load kernel video drivers in order for the xfree86 driver (mga in this case to work). And I didn't find the remark about "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86" in the config file for a while either.
There are lots of things that aren't at all obvious to a newbie that isn't necessarily a computer professional of some sort trying to get Debian installed the first time. I did it, and I'm glad I did, but simply telling someone to just read the prompts isn't helpful.
