Debian installer

[Hadiz]

I've heard that the latest stable release of debian (Woody?) has a much more robust installer. Is this true? I'd like to setup Debian on my machine with x.org and fluxbox, then use codeweavers for things that I'm windows-reliant on.

Anyone have any input?

Robust is the wrong word - the previous installer was robust (as in stable, reliable, etc). The new installer is simpler to use, and does more for you.

X.org isn't available as a Debian package as yet - if you need it then you are probably better off looking at something else (Slackware?). I'm also not sure if CodeWeavers produce their version of WINE in .deb format, although the 'normal' version is apt-gettable, and you can probably stick their RPM through alien.
