New Debian Installer


Greetings..

For those who have found installing Debian difficult in the past, well I
recently downloaded the new Debian Installer (sarge-i366-businesscard.iso)
and used it today to install a new system. I have tried numerous times
unsuccessfully to install a system (with working GUI) prior to this time. My
install today went without a hitch and the operations of the installer were
much improved than past ones.. I installed a 'unstable' system, which
installed kde3.2 and various other up-to-date packages, very easily..

For those who always wanted a Debian System, go for it..!! You can get it
from Debian Homepage. I too now have a fully function Debian system and very
impressed with it.. (and that apt-get tool.. how powerful is that!!)

WELL DONE to the various maintainers of the Installer..!!

I agree. The new installer is just what debian needed. I was extremely impressed to see that it even autoconfigured my mousewheel etc. With the new installer I could even honestly recommend Debian for someone who is starting with linux and likes reading (assuming he/she doesn't have very modern/exotic hardware that the installer doesn't autodetect). And more experienced users can still configure everything they want as long as they start it in expert mode.
