Base System Installation Checklist:
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

Initial boot worked:    [O]
Configure network HW:   [O]
Config network:         [O]
Detect CD:              [O]
Load installer modules: [O]
Detect hard drives:     [O]
Partition hard drives:  [O]
Create file systems:    [O]
Mount partitions:       [O]
Install base system:    [O]
Install boot loader:    [ ]	- kept config since I have a sarge install on that machine too
Reboot:                 [E]	- The "finish installation" step just flash a window coming up
				  and then return to the install menu. I had to finish via the
				  abort installation.

Comments/Problems:
	As above, a standard install though I skipped the Debian mirror part since
	I install packages from loop mounted DVD images (however even when I did specify
	a mirror, it didn't work...found the Release file but (the installer) tasksel 
	couldn't seem to connect with the mirror). As a sidenote when I later tried to 
	run tasksel after booting into the new system, that failed when it complained about 
	answering yes to some questions when --force-yes wasn't given as an option.
	
	The main problem happened at the end with the "finish install" step. As above it just 
	flashed a window and returned to the menu.

	(Package related issues) Although I specified shadow passwords, they were not set,
	probably because of the finish prob above. I did a shadowconf on to get it going. 
	Also the timezone wasn't set...as above. I installed kdm,kde,&xorg via dselect. 
	They didn't set a useable video mode for the machine (640x480 I believe). I needed to 
	go in and set the HSync and VRefresh explicitly in the xorg.conf to get a useable 
	display. Also KDE would not initialize sessions. In both a new user and an 
	established user, it would start to initialize the session but then eventually return 
	to the login screen. To get into something I could use, I escaped from the login screen
	into console mode, logged in root, killed kdm, and then did a startx. However, I could
	only do one startx. After that if I killed X and tried to get it going again, it 
	would complain about an openoffice being open and then X would die.

Reason is that a new udeb accidentally migrated to testing. This issue is 
documented on [1] and was corrected shortly after the last weekly builds.
The next weekly builds should be OK again.

Cheers,
