Package: debian-installer
Severity: moderate

Hi,

Take a harddisk and create a file system (say ext3) on the whole disk.# mke2fs -j /dev/sdd# /dev/sdd is entire device, not just one partition!# Proceed anyway? (y,n) y

Now use this disk to install debian. Under the partitioning menu, you donot get an option to parition or to intiialize the harddisk. How do Iinstall debian on this HDD ?
