I've been playing around with this a bit (booted d-i with the 2.6 kernel). The first challenge was to get my USB mouse working. I managed this by insmodding the evdev and psmouse modules. These are not yet available as an udeb, so I suggest adding an "input-mouse" udeb for kernel-wedge, at least for i386. The second thing I noticed is that if I execute dfb-test twice, my laptop freezes completely after I click the "hello world" button. The graphical d-i interface started without problems. Great job! Some things to watch out for: - the installer really must be on the main menu on VT1; - the screen is not restored when you switch back to the graphical installer after switching to another (text) terminal. Unfortunately for some reason I wasn't able to get past hardware detection. There are a lot of things that need to be polished, but that is only to be expected at this stage and it's very nice to be able to play around with this! Cheers, FJP
