First Linux Distribution Adopting Trixie is Emmabantus 6

The version 6 had few hiccups and I gave up because its update mechanism is faulty and Synaptic Package Manager had conflicts with FltPak.

Gave up instantly. 

It is not ready, yet.

I am trying to install it but Calamara Installer failed 3 times to format the partitions and installation.

I am trying to install using old Debian installer.
It comes from France.
It's version 5 made a hash of the GRUB bootloader and I gave up, long time ago.
It has ton of applications including Synaptic Package Manager.
Did not configure Wifi in this mode but Calamara Installer configured it OK.
I think French used this distribution to help Africans to learn Linux in  their African colonies.
I used this in the past in 32 bits time since it was the only one which had AbiWord.
 
As of today it could not configure WiFi in a live session but after installation it picked the WiFi signal.
Installation is proceeding fine.
The French developers should look into the problem with Calamara Installer.
 
Calamara is a Debian Independent Installer. 
I prefer the Debian Installer which worked fine.
 
I have been using Trixie from testing images and I did not have any problems or with WiFi.
By the way, I did not have a USB stick but installing it using a 16GB SD Card mounted on  USB Mount.
