IMHO the problem (that journal testers complain of) is not the base installation, but the complete lack of hardware autodetection and -configuration for X, sound cards, cd burners, usb devices and so on. But these issues do not have much to to with b-f, more with a common hw detection infrastructure in Debian itself. HW detection must work also when apt-getting an X server, hotplug or cdrecord, not just when installing a fresh Debian. I definitively do _not_ want to reinstall my much-cared-of system just because I've bought a new graphics card or a wheel mouse. I like b-f very much, you can install a base system with a fast, clean menu based interface (partitioning, network installation etc.) Could someone tell me what is actually wrong with them (apart from not having a more colorful interface, SCNR)? If it is totally screwed up under the hood, then a clean redesign is good. If its only a cosmetic issue, I do not see the point. This is really a genuine question, no flaming intended.
