Fine, but have you seen what a complete pain the installer is? (even if it did 
work). It looks like they have taken a serious step backwards. It's almost a 
cliche that the Debian installer (boot floppies) is not user friendly but once 
you get used to it you love it. Certainly when I was installing Bonzai Linux I 
was enjoy that boot floppies lovin!   
 
If the current Sarge installer on the ISO I downloaded is a sign of things to 
come then I will not be using it. They should be a choice between the current 
installer and the adapted/updated progeny one for less savvy users.
