Comments/Problems:
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
and ideas you had during the initial install.>
Overall, all went fine. Some notes :
1) I don't know if it's VMware's DHCP server fault, but netcfg wasn't
able to get an IP address from it. Tried again three times and then
used the manual method, which worked fine.
2) The shadow package used in daily builds doesn't seem to be the one
which contains the translated debconf templates included by the recent
Christian Perrier's NMU so a lot of shadow's templates were displayed
in English. For Brazilian Portuguese, one additional patch, which fixes
10 fuzzy strings, is needed. Patch and bug report in #246848.
3) The ssh package displayed the debconf note about privilege separation.
For a newbie, this could be hard to understand (and one more key press
during the intallation was necessary :-) ). Maybe lower the debconf
priority of this note ? Really don't know as it's usefull.
4) X didn't detected the video card. Don't know if it should be detected
as it's a VMware installation and no real video card exists. X diplayed
the X's modules list and asked me to choose from it, defaulting to "vesa".
5) Even if I didn't asked, security.debian.org was added to sources.list
so I noticed that lots of "stable" (from Woody) updates were fetched while
apt was downloading packages. Don't know if that's really a problem, but
at least a incovenience for users of low bandwidth connections as it means
that packages for woody are downloaded, which doesn't seem to be of any use
to one which is installing a Sarge base :-)
Great job ! Can't wait for having an easy to use RAID and LVM capable
installer :-) That said, I will try to do some test installs using mdcfg
and lvmcfg later.
Install logs and other status info is available in /var/log/debian-installer/.
