debian installer disk problem
Those of us installing stock debian with espeak and using the s as a boot
parameter to do it are faced with a problem during installation of the
operating system once the installation gets underway. Both the control-c
and control-d keys are not honored when pressed and even held down
repeatedly during this process. The only way I managed to get dropped
onto the main menu was to encounter an error in the installation process
which I forced by failing to connect the computer to the network when
using a netinst disk to do the install. My reason for going into the main
menu is that I need to have priority for questions set to low and I want
to check disk integrity and I want to arrange to have debug logs saved
somewhere in the event the installation developed into a failure for me.
If the integrity passes and that's in the debug log and some other error
happens later also in the debug log then either the integrity was good and
the other error is also valid or the integrity actually failed
notwithstanding a claim to the contrary and in either case it should be
interesting to more than just us installers. If it were possible to do
something like s expert as boot parameters together and have both honored
that might open up some more possibilities for those of us using the
accessibility facilities debian has installed. Before I close this message
I have a question brought about by a discovery that the amd k8 athelon I
use for linux for whatever reason hasn't got a working floppy drive. If I
get a network connection going and get network detected and configured and
choose to send debug log output to a web address, and finish an
installation in some fashion and I decide to go onto the web will I be
able to recover my installation logs from the web address shown when the
web output method is chosen? My reason for asking is that the address is
a temporary address according to the message when web output is chosen.
Is this temporary in terms of say 24 hours or only long enough to get the
installation ended?
