No, there is no list specific to the installer for alpha; there are two lists of relevance, debian-alpha for architecture-specific problems and debian-boot for problems not specific to alpha. The problem you describe doesn't sound like it's an alpha-specific problem, so I would recommend filing an installation report (which gets forwarded to the debian-boot list) describing your experience in detail, so that the maintainers of the relevant installer components can take a look at the problem... and kick it back to me if they find it's an alpha problem after all. :) For this, please make sure you're using the most recent daily builds, to rule out transient issues that have already been fixed. > My next issue now may be just an unfinished component or ignorance > on my part.

Really shouldn't happen at all, so I can't suggest an answer here. :) Cheers, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. vorlon@debian.org http://www.debian.org/
