Hi all, Yesterday, I have tried to install a fresh Debian system on my hppa 712/60 using the new debian-installer. Attached are my notes about this process. In short: most of the stuff is working, and you can using d-i on hppa. (debconf priority high) 1. kbd-chooser is in the mainmenu between (!) dhcp and static network configuration 2. kbd-chooser segfaults everytime (manually edited the status file) imho. if something does wrong tree time, it should never displayed to the user. 3. anna display cdrom-checker/cdrom-detect/network-ppp during a network installation. Hmmm. 4. anna, only display udebs with a menuitem. So I can't install any fdisk program (this makes partitioner unusable) 5. the hardware detection always told me, I need more modules (floppy, ide, isofs, ...) But everything is alread in the kernel 6. palo-installer doesn't make the disc-bootable. Hardware: PA-RISC/HPPA 712/60, 32MB RAM, 60MHz :) Notes: I have created an new lif image (which contains both 32 and 64 bit kernels). Boot method was netboot (dhcp/tftp).
