The Very Verbose Debian 3.0 Installation Walkthrough

Posted by timothy on from the making-possible-the-impossible dept.

Gentu writes "Cited the general displeasure which accompanied the Debian 3.0 release, mostly regarding its dated installation procedure, Clinton De Young wrote an easy-reading but long article for OSNews going through the Debian installation step by step. Of course Progeny released recently the PGI graphical installer, but it is not as complete as the current Debian text-based installer and it will definately be quite some time before it get adopted by the project."

    I mean, if you can't figure out the debian installer, perhaps you shouldn't be using debian.

    It's not a hard installer, as far as installers go. I don't see what the big deal is.

    I love the Gentoo install guide. It's so detailed and verbose, anyone could follow it in their sleep!
