It seems that neither order will work 100% reliably; some Windows 7 BCDs contain "Windows Recovery Environment", while some recovery BCDs contain "Windows 7". -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Quoting Joey Hess (jo...@debian.org): > Here are some parition contents listings to possibly improve os-prober > to not call various OEM/recovery partitions "Windows Vista" I think that os-prober 1.40 (which is not on beta1 CDs) is meant to fix those Vista partitions recognition problems. From the different release dates, I'd say that beta1 CDs do not have this version of os-prober, so that might explain. Can you confirm? signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Overall install:[O] Comments/Problems: All hardware works well, including wifi (with no nonfree firmware needed), brightness controls, audio, X, and even suspend/resume. Had to manually run isohybrid on the CD to boot it from USB stick. The lack of any desktop environment was an unpleasant quasi-surprise, as it would have added an hour to the install to download it from a mirror. Especially since I was already looking at getting home after midnight, and snow was expected. The first CD thus seems basically useless compared to say, a netinst. Ended up installing the desktop task after d-i, using a handy mirror on a USB drive.
