Hmm, this does not seem to be a good way for the novice to make
his very first Linux installation. It depends (of course) on
what the few keystrokes have to be;-)

It seems to me that this should be the way to do a Linux 
installation in the future. The Debian package is 14 CDs 
already and it is getting unpractical to use CDs.

I will have a look at it (in the background) to see
whether this is really easy enough to be one of the
best ways to get ones first Linux systems running.
