I ran speakup-expert to try to install testing instead of stable after I booted into speakup-expert and changed debconf to low priority. I was never prompted to choose the version to install. Another odd thing happend the debian installation tried to remove the kernel I had selected with speakup during installation of the base system. I told it NO! and then everything worked fine. I then had to edit /etc/apt/sources.list to install testing after installing the base system and selecting a debian mirror. I installed everything else using tasksel and found that none of the development tools like gcc are installed any more. If I try to install just gcc it wants me to install other libs in the subgested packages and other things. I would like all of this installed as was the case with sarge. Has anyone else had these problems and if I ever need to reinstall is there a way to fix them? One thing that shane should put on the people.debian.org/~shane site is an sources.list file with the people.debian.org/~shane stuff in it so users can download and murge it with their own so they can just use apt to install and upgrade speakup kernels.
