Lo, Though the DSELECT program is easier than most linux installation programs i wonder if it just aint possible to write something decent on this matter. All of the linux distributions fail on two points and so does DEBIAN.
1. Easy of use and installation (though now i mind less after 2 weeks of getting grips labour) 2. D O C U M E N T A T I O N ( why all these cryptic files and no real database ??? HTML yes?) Installing and removing LOOKS easy but there's very little REAL version/dependency checking done. Geez, sometimes i start thinking of winDOWs as a better platform just because one can ****up a system doing simple installation procedures. HELP i'm no hacker/coder/programmer/techie just an experienced user of operating systems doswinlix and NOT even considering to become one. REALLY leave the coding to the guys/girls who know what they're doing i think to myself. But all i see is NEW kernel releases and NOT new USER friendly add-ons such as installation, configuration, manual database, manuals with more indepth information on exactly what files to alter etc . . . To set the record straight, I REALLY LIKE DEBIAN LINUX and the other LINUX Distributions, i just think it's disturbing to 'allready' see flaws in development. My thoughts on this are 'of course' not complete or even accurate but should indicate, again the need for a Standard User Friendly environment to people leaving the winDOWs platform or choosing to widen their horizon. Finally, why not deliver a good WORDprocessor on the distribution / contribution CDR ? It's considered a Major lack in any distribution. Thank You for you patience while reading this.
