I got a warning message regarding writing changes although I didn't make any changes. Worse, it wasn't clear if the resize will throw everything away or keep data. Fortunately it keeped all the data, but I think a message could inform the user about this point. -If "assisted partitionning" is used after some manual configuration, all this configuration seems lost : I had specificied a mount point for the windows partition and it went lost when I used the "assisted partitionning". -Grub didn't detect the windows installation -For the packages selection I choosed the first item (I don't remember the name), and I noticed it downloaded mozilla and openoffice packages for all languages. May be a selection of wanted languages could be added to avoid to download rarely used languages -XFree installation gave me a wrong keyboard (us instead of the french I had specified at the beginning of debian install), and didn't generate modes for 1024x768 resolutions. -Kde default font was "Charter" which didn't have any special french chars so I had to change it to "Bitstream Charter" I didn't test the Wifi card nor the ACPI things. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.26-1-686 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
