Debian week: installing it on mac and my Acer One

Well, I have a really passion  (from more of 10 years, I belive) for Debian.

I love the cooperive nature of the project, the distribution (of course!) and I feel at ease with it.

So, in this week I have reistalled Debian on my Macand on my netbook, the Acer One. On mac, it was easy with Lenny.

On the netbook the things were most complicated. From the USB booting system. I have followed the wiki page at

http://wiki.debian.org/DebianAcerOn  but the procedure at #PreparingtheUSBflashdrive don't work for me. The installation

hang up or don't start. I have resolved following the procedure WITHOUT the mkdiskimage procedure and WITHOUT the

creation of debian_installer directory (why they have made this? what is its utility?), but installing everything on the root directory. 

The net install, then, have work well, and almost all its ok. Now, I must fix the hang at the boot with the SD insert in the card reader,

and verify that all other things works well.
