Exploring the Debian installer
The Debian Installer does an excellent job of "delivering maximum functionality for the widest possible audience". I wish to do very customized installs. They might be described as "minimalist - think not requiring anything beyond a IBM PC/XT or PC/AT. Also, when exploring options, I may do multiple installs from scratch in a single day. My introduction to Linux was Debian Squeeze. I found preseeding could handle the many of my needs. [1] Where my might I find an exhaustive list of questions which may be preseeded? Also, at the time, it was suggested that exploring debootstrap would be valuable for some of my applications. I need to re-read the debootstrap documentation. To better frame questions I should ask myself when reading that documentation, I need some ideas of the installer's what, why, and how. Due to bandwidth constraints, I have always used DVD1 of the appropriate release. [2] What source modules should I be looking at? At this time I do not believe I need to go any deeper that the code that asks the user questions and launching appropriate routine in response. TIA

Given that the window for getting fixes into the 10.2 point release closes this weekend, feel free to upload and we'll wait for the d-i ack before deciding whether to include it in 10.2.

Please open a bug against "src:linux" requesting that this driver is built and included in the installer. We'll fix it unstable first, and can then possibly fix it in an update to buster.
