I just installed Sarge using the network install on two machines, and it
was very smooth and easy. I had started with woody, and it was very
messy. The new installer is great!

A couple of points:

1. if you want to use cups for network printing, you have to apt-get
cupsys. The cups daemon is not automatically loaded.

2. I also could not print from Mozilla because lpr is not installed.
Apt-get cupsys-bsd and now Mozilla prints.

3. I seem to have a time problem - my hw clock is set to UTC, but I
cannot get the display to show my local time. If you have any
suggestions, I would appreciate them!
