It did ask me twice about PCMCIA, but that wasn't a big deal. Did not install X, so I have no idea if that works or not. Great job all, and I especially appreciated the clear explanation of the boot parameter options at the beginning of the installer. I do have one question, though I'm not sure if this is the proper place to ask or not: The installer has me add locations to /etc/apt/sources.list. This works well, and adds both a deb and a deb-src line for each mirror. It asked if I wanted security updates, so I said yes and it added a deb line for security. It does not, however, add a deb-src line for security. Why not? I only ask because I don't think that it's made particularly obvious anywhere that (as far as I can tell) you have to have a deb-src line for security to retreive the most recent source versions of packages that have had security updates. I didn't notice this in the installer manual, the installer itself, the APT HOWTO, or the man pages for sources.list or apt-get. If I overlooked an explanation of this somewhere, I apologize. I am just curious about the omission since I almost got bitten by this in the past when building openssl from source. For example, on Woody currently if you apt-get source openssl without a deb-src line for security, you get the source for openssl_0.9.6c-2.woody.4, but if you include that line in sources.list you get the openssl_0.9.6c-2.woody.6 source.
