Install report

[Andreas Tille <tillea@rki.de>]

Hi,

at first thanks for all your fine work at d-i.  I never installed a Debian
box so easy and so fast as with

   http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/netinst/i386/daily/sarge-i386-businesscard.iso

(downloaded today size = 38535168 time = 2004-01-11 23:17).

I tried the German installation and I think I found only one not yet translated
screen - so thanks to all the translators as well.

Only some minor issues could be solved better:

  1. I selected "testing" as distribution. In this case it makes no sense
     to include security.debian.org into source.list.  I would include a
     check here whether the distribution is stable and if not security
     should be left out here.

  2. A more serious problem is that the keymap was not set correctly.
     I verified this by
         dpkg-reconfigure console-data
     (selected: qwertz / German / Standard / latin1 - no dead keys)
     and got the following stderr output:

     Looking for keymap to install:
     de-latin1-nodeadkeys
     KDGKBENT at index 128 in table 0: Invalid argument
     Failed to dump keymap!
     This might be because your console cannot be opened.  Perhaps you don't have
     video card, are connected via the serial console or ssh.  Not loading
     keymap!

     This is a real bug which should be fixed.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
