Package: installation-reports Version: 2.29 Severity: normal Boot method: netinst Image version: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/i386/iso-cd/debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso Date: Sat Nov 10 09:26:39 PST 2007 Machine: ThinkPad T40p Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [O] Detect network card: [O] Configure network: [O] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [O] Install base system: [O] Clock/timezone setup: [O] User/password setup: [O] Install tasks: [O] Install boot loader: [O] Overall install: [O] Comments/Problems: I used the provided /, /tmp, /usr, /var, and /home scheme using an encrypted LVM which did an excellent job sizing things. This is my first foray into the use of encrypted disks and LVM. I feel better having the disk on my laptop encrypted, and am looking forward to taking advantage of the flexibility that LVM provides. I had used 1 GB swap before, but this install gave me about 2.7 GB (I have 2 GB memory). I imagine this is necessary to provide space for hibernate. Is the extra bit there in case I want to use tmpfs for /tmp? I read about using tmpfs for /tmp and am considering it. Thoughts? Considerations about making this the default in the Debian installer? I had to install libesd-alsa0 instead of libesd0 so that totem could make sounds (via esd). Please find hardware-summary attached. Note that free: stanza is incorrect--I actually have 2 GB of memory. Interestingly, the top of Gnucash reports printed to PDF were truncated until I installed a printer in CUPS, and then the problem disappeared. Is a CUPS installation default suboptimal? -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (600, 'testing'), (80, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash installation-report depends on no packages.
