Comments/Problems:
Initial boot worked: [E]
This CD didn't want to boot in my CD-ROM drive at all. It acts exactly
as if there was no CD in the drive). It is a standard ATAPI CD-ROM
SAMSUNG SC-148P connected to secondary slave. I have never any problems
with booting any bootable CDs in this computer and this drive before,
and older versions (snapshots 20030817 and 20030928) of
sarge-i386-netinst booted flawlessly here. I have recorded the beta-1
CD three times: twice on a CDR and once on a CD-RW. All of them booted
flawlessly both on a Sony PCGA-CD5 PCMCIA CD drive, and on a Sony
Firewire CD-RW/DVD drive (in which all three CD's where recorded, once
under one non-libre OS, and twice under Debian GNU/Linux with cdrecord)
in a Sony PCG-C1MV notebook. All of them acted the same in my Smasung
SC-148P CD-ROM drive (as if there was no CD in the drive). What I did,
is that I booted from an older sarge-i386-netinst CD, and at the LILO
boot: prompt, I change the CD to the new one (beta-1) and it worked.
Nobody noticed :)
Detect CD: [E]
The CD worked correctly until the first reboot after the first part of
the installation. Then the CD drive doesn't work.
I have no idea why it installed some kind of a IDE-SCSI CDROM emulation,
during bootup it displays:
SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
hdd: attached ide-scsi driver.
scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices
Vendor: SAMSUNG Model: CD-ROM SC-148P Rev: PS01
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02
This doesn't work at all, I don't know why it installed such a wierd
thing as IDE-SCSI emulation, the CD-ROM drive always worked correctly
under a standard IDE driver.
If I try to mount it, I get:
localhost:~# mount /cdrom

Specifying the filesystem type doesn't help at all:
localhost:~# mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdd /cdrom
ide-scsi: hdd: unsupported command in request queue (0)
end_request: I/O error, dev 16:40 (hdd), sector 64
isofs_read_super: bread failed, dev=16:40, iso_blknum=16, block=32
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdd,
or too many mounted file systems
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)
Why don't drop LILO support from the installer and use only GRUB? I
think noone will ever want to install such a stupid bootloader as LILO
when GRUB is available. I don't like that it tries to install LILO
without even asking if I prefer GRUB. I made it not touch my drive with
LILO by saying /dev/hda333 to the question where do I want to install
LILO, and then I was given the posibility to install GRUB. If you really
don't want to drop LILO, just make a screen: Which bootloader do you
want to use? GRUB/LILO. And make GRUB the default (when user taps Enter
without pressing arrows...)
The same thing with dselect versus aptitude. I think aptitude should be
installed by default, and there shouldn't even be an option to install
dselect, it's so terrible, that I think many people installing Debian
the first time will throw away the Debian CD, and order Mandrake or some
other crap, when they see such a terrible installation program as
dselect.
The last problem it that it called my host "localhost" while it asked
for the hostname, and I entered "tarnica" there. I'm pretty sure I did
that.
A nice thing to have would be the possibility to save all the
installation options in a config file, and be able to use that when
installing some time later, doing a restore after a catastrophe, or
while installing on a identical PC. That config file should also say
which packages I have chosen to install, and one should be able to
update it later with 'dpkg --get-selections' output later.
Another option I'd apprecieate would be a question do we want a
non-UTF-8 or a UTF-8 setup. The UTF-8 will setup everything, including
the consoles (unicode_start, a console Unicode font, and everything else
needed) in UTF-8 mode.

Description:
netcfg - Configure the network (udeb)

Changes:

.
* Ming Hua
- Initial Simplified Chinese translation (zh_CN.po)
* Bart Cornelis
- Merged Norwegian Nynorsk (nn.po) translation from skolelinux-cvs
* Thiemo Seufer
- Code cleanup and whitespace police, run through the testmill
this time.
* Andre Dahlqvist
- Initial Swedish translation (sv.po).
* Matt Kraai
- Do not overwrite /etc/resolv.conf if using DHCP.
- Do not set the domain if it is the empty string.
* Joey Hess
- Only copy /etc/resolv.conf to /target in static config.
- Do not write badly formatted /etc/mailname. Instead, set the hostname
in /proc and let the MTA postinst do the rest.
Closes: #212143, #222631
- If the domain is left blank, do not add a search line to
/etc/resolv.conf
- Write hostname to /etc/hostname and copy to target in prebaseconfig,
to avoid the localhost effect from 50config-target-network in
prebaseconfig. Closes: #224644
