package:debian-boot@lists.debian,org
version: current (this week) sarge 1st ISO CD image
When doing the initial install during network configuration the network
card could not be found so no network could be installed
When configuring apt-get (assuming at this point I am configuring the
apt-get.conf file for later use) my choices of mirrors failed because
the installation wrapper could not detect a network.
After install completed and I logged in I quickly configured the
network card, but then had to manually create an apt-get.conf file to
get further packages.
My fix would be to not have the apt-get configuration setup during
install fail due to lack of a network. The fact that there is no
network should not matter because trying to run apt-get pointing to a
mirror without a network would fail anyway. After the network is
installed further configuration of apt-get would not be necessary if it
was done during the install so further package installation could begin
immediately
This was my first install of debian
thanks,
Bill Oxley

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful
The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet.
In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.
You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.
If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.
Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
