compte rendu d'install de stormx par un membre de la team Debian :
C'est basé sur Debian, _MAIS SANS_ l'essentiel de la *merveilleuse*
Debian qui est la configuration des packages, alors pourquoi ? :

In case you didn't see /., it is based on debian. I burnt a cd of it and
installed. The install process goes like this:

* Starts with a boot prompt (lilo I think), with a big colorful login
banner.
* Boots up into a menu. It tries to detect your mouse, this presumably
  succeeds if you have a normal serial mouse. I had to back up a step
and
  tell it to autodetect my pcmcia mouse and move the mouse around for it
to
  detect it.
* Auto-detects your cd drive, and monitor and video card. Did a good job
here.
* Asks if you want to go into graphical mode. If so, it starts up icewm
with
  a pretty background (see the screenshots on their web site). If not,
it
  does all the following steps in a text based ui. They've abstracted
things
  so the same backend is used for each.
* Goes through partitioning, timezone selection, etc.
* Presents a short list of groups of packages they you can chose to
install.
* Installs them non-interactively, with two progress bars and a time
                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  remaining display. It seems to skip configuring the packages, they
arn't
                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  allowed to ask any questions.
* Reboots.
At this point, it failed to detect the scsi controller it had found fine
before, and didn't boot. So I can't say what it's like once installed.
I'll
try again and follow up on this.


il semble qu'il ne soit même pas possible d'envoyer une ligne de
