Debian-installer-version: sarge-i386-netinst.iso from 2 Nov Method: cdrom install on vmware Machine: vmware Processor: faster than bochs :-) Memory: 96 mb in vmware Root Device: pseudo-scsi, 300 mb Root Size/partition table: 1 300 mb ext3 partition Base System Installation Checklist: Initial boot worked: [O] Configure network HW: [ ] Config network: [ ] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [O] Create file systems: [O] Mount partitions: [O] Install base system: [O] Install boot loader: [O] Reboot: [O] base-config: [E] [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Comments/Problems: For the record, this is my first successful install of d-i. No particular problems to report. The bogl refresh problem is annoying, and it didn't ask me if I wanted grub (which I generally do), and just installed lilo. A few places could use better progress bars. base-config needs a lot of work still. There was a message from 12console-tools spewed to the console, and it does not inherit settings from d-i that it could. And there's no progress bar while installing packages... ;-) Here's the only significant problem I had: My cdrom was not properly set up to be used in base-config. I had to go to a different VC and manually load ide-detect and ide-cdrom modules before it was seen. This is probably a bug in part of the installer, not sure which part to file it on. -- see shy jo
