Hmm. Linux Mint Debian does http://imagebin.org/299394

I have installed debian before, along time ago, and do not remember this 
hoo haw. I liked Debian, but it was worthless on a laptop as it did not 
run the wireless (at least w/o a lot of trouble) I do not like having to 
use a USB wireless dongle as I am clumsy and imagined raking the dongle 
off on something and in the process trashing the laptop

Anyway, I wanted to partition for a /tmp and /home. The default install 
does not require anything special.
