My bad luck with installing Debian from CD continued in my first experience with Storm Linux. After one quick drive-by install on CD, which resulted in a system sans NIC driver, I managed somehow to foul the CD's surface and could no longer boot or read from it after booting from a floppy. Baud karma, or something. Please note that network installation is not my preferred approach. I don't like to spend hours doing something I could accomplish in minutes.
All good dweebs are lazy, whether they are programmers, sysadmins, or hackers.
I followed the instructions on the download page and used dd to copy the image to a floppy. I had to choose between English and French for the installation, then move my rodent so the installer could autodetect it. Storm then let me choose the language for my desktop from a list of nine, including French, Spanish, German, Portugese, Italian, and two variations of Svensk. The installer used interactive feedback to decide on the correct keyboard bindings. I tapped on the appropriate key when it asked me to enter a specific character and it made the selection for me.
