Bug#245077: Debian installer report
Package: installation-reports
INSTALL REPORT
Debian-installer-version: Beta 3, 100 MB CD image, downloaded on 19
Apr 2004 from http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/
uname -a:
Linux pc-ballabio 2.4.25-1-386 #1 Tue Feb 24 08:11:13 EST 2004 i686
GNU/Linux
Date: 20 Apr 2004 in the morning (Central Europe time)
Method: installed base system from the 100 MB CD image, then
downloaded extra packages via apt-get from
http://debian.nettuno.it/debian/. No proxy.
Machine: desktop PC, don't know the brand (my employer gave me)
Processor: AMD Athlon 750 Mhz
Memory: 512 MB
Root Device: 30 GB IDE disk
Root Size/partition table:
Sorry, don't know where to get this from... well, /dev/hda1 was an 8
GB primary partition with Windows on it, and I left it untouched. On
the remaining space I created three logical partitions:
/dev/hda5 of 100 MB -> ext3 filesystem, mounted on /boot
/dev/hda6 of 20 GB -> ext3 filesystem, mounted on /
/dev/hda7 of 1.2 GB (thus filling the disk) -> swap space

Comments/Problems:
Congratulations for the excellent work. Having experienced the Woody
install, I was amazed at how little I had to do. Everything worked
like a breeze, including network configuration via DHCP. The only
thing I did manually (besides selecting language and keyboard and
entering the hostname) was to partition the HD, and only because I
chose to.
I've been having a minor problem though: the GRUB boot screen doesn't
show any entry for booting Windows. I can mount the Windows partition
though. I'm wondering whether I made it unbootable inadvertently --
or screwed it up completely, but as far as I have looked, and given my
limited knowledge of the Windows filesystem, it seems ok.
