I used the sarge-i386-netinst.iso, booted with just a carriage return at the
boot: prompt.
Very nice! I was unable to boot beta1 on my test system, so this was a VERY
substantial improvement. The system info is:
Motherboard: Soltek SL-75DRV5; it has a Phoenix BIOS, VIA KT333 and VT8233A
north/southbridges, a VIA VT1611A audio chip, AMD XP 1700+ CPU,
128Mb DDR RAM.
VIdeo: NVidia RIVA TNT2
NIC: Netgear FA-310TX
2 IDE disks; the install was on /dev/hda5 with swap on /dev/hda7. This disk
had four installed OSs on it, selected via Red Hat 7.3 GRUB; this was
replacing the one on the 5Gb hda5 partition. Ext3 was selected as the
filesystem. Packages were selected via tasksel.
Audio, video and networking were all detected and configured correctly. It
looked almost like a Knoppix install in this regard; I was impressed. I liked
the way the DHCP detection was handled - reasonably short timeout and with a
good message when a server wasn't found.
I'm sorry that this isn't the correct format for an install report; the
INSTALLATION-HOWTO says there should be a file /root/install-report.template,
but I was unable to find this file anywhere on the installed system. I
suggest putting a link to an online copy of the file in section 4 of the
HOWTO.
Miscellaneous comments:
I second the lilo-installer report #218741. Wow. For folks new to Linux,
/dev/hd# is different enough, but those devfs names; Bleah. Without some
online help, that format is a non-starter. I'll do the install again and see
if the Grub install has the same problem.
