Base System Installation Checklist:

Initial boot worked:    [O]
Configure network HW:   [O]
Config network:         [O]
Detect CD:              [O]
Load installer modules: [O]
Detect hard drives:     [O]
Partition hard drives:  [E]
Create file systems:    [O]
Mount partitions:       [E]
Install base system:    [O]
Install boot loader:    [E]
Reboot:                 [O]
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

Comments/Problems:
Config Network :
I have 2 networks interface, I need to retry 2 times the dhcp detect, may be the chello dhcp server was to slow.
Partition hard drives :
My best nightmare  complety bogus, in fact a process (grep -q ext3) stop at 14% the splash screen.
The workaround is to kill the process. May be a grep without file (grep -q ext3 .... nothing :)) )
So I need to create the partitions table "by hand"
When it tried to mount fs, the installer said : run fsck bla bla ... I ran fsck "by hand" and everything was ok. I don't know why the installer detected a problem. I said, no problem continue Install boot loader :
rahhhh !!!!!! lilo is not ok
grub yes, BUT it is not (hd0) but (hd0,1) this option by default is wrong (I think)
Reboot :
Ok, but not OK, In fact I don't know if the problem was fr.debian.org or the installer.
I had some problems when I did apt-get .... (when I choosed the profile)

But The very biiiiiiig problem was devfs, why did you use devfs ?
It is not useful for an installation (path very complicated etc ...)

Please, don't use devfs.


Best regards,
A "bravo" for your job, it is wonderfull, I hope that my comments will be usefull for you.

Sylvain.
