one step closer to the death of rpm
by alex on Sat 25th Oct 2003 06:18 UTC

It's a great start to a new world... a new world wiht out RPMs.

but for the installer... I kind of liked the text-based debian installer. I ment I could install debian to a machine that I had no idea what the graphics card was and it wouldn't lock up while configuring X.

The this that was missing from the debian install was lspci. The number of times I've had to use a knoppix CD or a resuce CD just to run lspci is not funny.


Dispite the great work, I wonder how long it'll take debian to get off it's lazy butt to use dpkg-anaconda...
