Comments/Problems:

I used the provided /, /tmp, /usr, /var, and /home scheme using an encrypted LVM which did an excellent job sizing things. This is my first foray into the use of encrypted disks and LVM. I feel better having the disk on my laptop encrypted, and am looking forward to taking advantage of the flexibility that LVM provides.

I had used 1 GB swap before, but this install gave me about 2.7 GB (I have 2 GB memory). I imagine this is necessary to provide space for hibernate. Is the extra bit there in case I want to use tmpfs for /tmp? I read about using tmpfs for /tmp and am considering it. Thoughts? Considerations about making this the default in the Debian installer?

I had to install libesd-alsa0 instead of libesd0 so that totem could make sounds (via esd).

Do you need help?X

Please find hardware-summary attached. Note that free: stanza is incorrect--I actually have 2 GB of memory.

Interestingly, the top of Gnucash reports printed to PDF were truncated until I installed a printer in CUPS, and then the problem disappeared. Is a CUPS installation default suboptimal?
