Comments/Problems:

3 minor problems:
Booting via 'expert vga=0x318' did not work. Got just a blank
screen. Would it be possible to add fbcon to the kernel?


Why am I asked twice to klick away all these kernel modules
for IDE chips I do not have and I do not want to be loaded?
Especially loading ide-generic would disable the other
ide-modules, anyway.

Configure Hardware should be displayed only once.


After reboot in the postinstall menu I selected

Select and install packages --> manual package selection

Aptitude was started as expected, but it showed a popup
immediately, saying

No packages are scheduled to be installed,
removed, or upgraded.

After klicking [OK] aptitude showed just a blank screen instead
of the expected Package View. Surely aptitude is no tool for
Newbies, but this was confusing.

I would suggest to start aptitude with a Categorical Browser
or the Package View, if there is nothing to install.


Regards

Harri
