Since I never choose a keyboard (there isn't a swiss german keyboard in Debian 3.0) and also don't configure the network (I prefer to do it afterwards) the next action is somehow difficult to keep track. I probably forgot something to do. I hope the the next Debian installation does clearly mark the last done action or allows to mark unneeded action as done.
