Installation process was more or less painless and nice, why do you think about 1995? Do you need lots of graphs with presentations in Windows style? I'd rather prefer simple and stright forward action without much user involvement. I was more or less satisfied with Debian installer.DarkDuck (m)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06273784224243667602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-77869209325440989132011-04-12T10:19:51.758+01:002011-04-12T10:19:51.758+01:00Debian is not that easy.

The only difference, literally, is whether you use ncurses or GTK+. The actual dialogs are the same.<br /><br />You also get a much better selection of packages if you let it use the network while installing (as you saw when you tried again in your follow-up post), or install from DVD instead if you really have no network available during installation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
