Comments/Problems:
1. Progress bar "Installing base packages..." wait at 75%
2. LILO offers no "go back"
3. Too many packages installed
4. A filed /tmp-Xhack existed, which certainly shouldn't exist.
5. loop in base-config (setting up APT)
The installation went without any problems. Just minor things which
have been reported already, and the two following issues:
1. At "Installing base packages..." the progress bar stayed at 75% for
quite a while. I think this has been reported before, but I don't
think it's fixed yet. This PC isn't particularly slow, but it waited
there for quite a while. It would be nice to have a better update of
the progress bar. I stored the output of "ps aux" in a file in case
you don't know what's going on at 75%.
2. One thing I'm not sure has been reported before is the LILO
installer only gave you the choice to "continue". There was no "go
back", which is a pity because I really wanted to install GRUB
instead.
After the install:
3. Too many packages are installed. There is crap like eject which
I'll certainly never need. I understand you need this during d-i to
eject the CD, but please remove it right at the beginning of
base-config. This package doesn't have to be on every installation.
Also, kernel-pcmcia-* & pcmcia-cs was installed even though this is a
PC without PCMCIA. Please only install this if PCMCIA is available.
libopencdk8 & libgnutls7 was installed, even though nothing depends on
it? Also, ash was installed (along with dash), even though ash is
just a transition package for dash.
ipchains was installed? *boggle*
fdutils was installed (the PC doesn't have a floppy drive...).
read-edid & mdetect: this should be removed after X configuration (or
are they needed to run X? I think they're only for configuration,
right).
[I'm aware these are issues in base-config, debootstrap and probably
others. Please clone/reassign as appropriate.]
4. A file /tmp-Xhack exists after install, which certainly shouldn't exist.
5. There was a loop in base-config when setting up APT. I chose
"ftp", chose "enter information" (or what it's called), entered the
name and directory of a FTP Debian server, and when I pressed okay I
was back in the menu where I can choose between cdrom/http/ftp/etc.
It wouldn't let me continue... so I pressed "cancel".
Also, the apt sources line said "main contrib" (two space, should be
one). And why is contrib in there anyway?
