Comments/Problems:
Having been a Debian user for 9 years, I'm really impressed.
As far as the non-graphical installer goes: I consider it a featue not a bug -
a graphical installer really only looks better but doesn't give additioanl
functionality or ease of use. And surely, a non-grphical installer is way more
frugal regarding resources - think people in less privileged countries.
I'll try to avoid the old hat stuff like vicious circle for apt or outdated
kernel. The things I consider most severe are makred with '*', the rest is '-'.
At the end are a few remarks regarding testing in general. Although not part
of d-i, I thought I mention them because they had a lage impact on my
installation experience...
Initial install from CD:
- 'Detecting hardware' runs *three* times all in all. Can't we bring that down
to 1? (Maybe the fact that I don't have a floopy is responsible.)
- name server should default to gateway rather than being blank IMHO (if no DHCP)
- the hostname is being asked for twice, not good
- domain not asked for, not good
* there is no feedback during filesystem and mountpoint creation, not good
('Creating filesystems and mount points - please, stand by' would suffice)
* there is no possibility to do a badblock scan of the HDD, not good
- 'Installing base system' stops at 75% and finishes, cosmetic but irritating
- 'Installing extra packages' stops at 66% and finishes, cosmetic but irritating
(less than above because quicker)
- install does not try/offer to setup Australian Telstra Bigpond cable modem via
bpalogin (yeah, might only be me but than again not...)
After reboot:
* I get a message saying: Invalid hostname "aurich3" and some blurb - aurich3 is
definitely a perfectly valid hostname!
- hotplug is not part of CD - I'm surprised, there's is probablt a reason, though
* lilo config should default to offering choice so that people can specifiy things
like 'single'
After installation:
* the X windows packages are terribly outdated - there is no excuse for this!
* configuration of xserver-xfree86 should really offer 1280x1024@60 (because
that's what I use ;-) and so do many others - better 17" TFT)
* X windows is still not working for me, I finally get a graphical screen, the
mouse is working, *the keyboboard isn't* and I can't even boot into single mode
to examine the situation - cf. above regarding lilo setup (yeah, I can boot the
Installation CD in rescue mode I suppose) My system is more than a year old!
- why is gdm not part of the gnome package (I have selected gnome in dselect)?
- time is messed up
- many outdated packages: postfix 2.0.16, mozilla 1.5, xsane 0.91, X,...
- Question: Do you want set up mandb setuid man? Explanation: nothing <doh>
- had to speciify the paper size twice
and so forth...
Bottom line: Debian is truely great (tried RedHat, Mandrake, Suse) - but still
only for the initiated - not read for the average desktop user :-(

Description:

Closes: 231105 239429
Changes:
ddetect (0.81) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Joey Hess
- Remove manual title setting.
- hw-detect can now be called with a parameter that is the name of a
debconf template. If it is, it will use that template as the title
for the progress bar. This allows for cusomised progress bars
during the different hardware detection steps. Of course, it's kinda a
gyp because hw-detect still loads all the modules it can in each pass.
- ethdetect passes a custom title, as does hw-detect-full (so do
cdrom-detect and iso-scan). Closes: #239429, #231105
