The first-stage installer packages are working, and I am currently
debugging. choose-mirror is not
doing what I expect: although it works, it chooses the mirror on its own
and doesn't ask me. I have to test the second-stage installer (what
happens after the system reboots). But the installer is almost done.
More tomorrow.
So far, /no/ modifications have been necessary to the debian-installer
software. All of our stuff is in additional packages that hook into the
installation menu system. But the debian-installer could use additional
hooks and I may go back and put them in after this.
Thanks
Bruce
