   Please have a look at the new Debian installer destined for Sarge, and
currently in testing. The development team are desperate to get it tested as
much as possible, and would really appreciate any installation reports, good
or bad. Please also view the current documentation and send them a report.
If all goes well it is a very easy installation compared with the old one
that came with Woody. They are now aiming for a full release soon after mid
October. Debian -- Debian-Installer
