Comments/Problems:
I have a dual boot setup currently, wanted to try debian. KNOPPIX works per=
fectly, I thought DEBIAN should work as well.
15 GB XFS partition on my 80 GB /dev/hdb drive has been made available. I t=
ry the installer, works perfectly until I reach=20
the part where the first time the root partition is mounted. The system is =
halted, no way to go back and fix the problem, but I still
can Alt+F3 and look at the error messages, there is stated that the XFS Ker=
nel modules are not available.
(My suggestion, put on the intallation CD image a kernel where EVERY filesy=
stem available to linux is fully supported)
Next try: Network setup is somehow fishy this time, 10 sec waiting time for=
a DHCP Server respond is far too short in my case,
my Mandrake 9.2 system waits for 120 s until it stops trying, and most of t=
he time it takes about 20 - 30 sec to get a respond
from my provider.
At the partitioning part I reformat the partition to be ReiserFS, select so=
me Tasks which I want my system to be able
to perform (what I was missing somehow is the multimedia category, maybe ev=
en devided into grafics, audio and video - maybe
I just overlooked it this early in the morning). But as it is quite similar=
to my Mandrake install I had no problems, I also think this
kind of package selection is the right way to go. Good work done here, real=
ly.
After this lots of questions were asked, I do not really understand why a h=
ostname is asked from me, because usually I get my
hostname from my provider's DHCP server. If this would be my first install =
or if my provider would assign me a different IP address
than usual (which is quite common here in Austria), I would enter a complet=
ely wrong hostname because I CANNOT know my hostname
at this time (It changes with the IP address). I guess that would mess up t=
he network settings pretty well.
Please do not ask unnecessary or redundant questions during install, and th=
is is an unnecessary question. Network is up, so the
hostname is known, no need to ask.
The biggest problem of all: My graficcard was not detected. I have a ATI XP=
ert 2000, Mandrake knows this card since I use Mandrake,
the XFree86 driver for an ATI Rage 128 TV out fits well, even 3D support wo=
rks (although unstable sometimes, lockup during tuxracer
runs). KNOPPIX also detects my graficcard automatically, so maybe you can l=
ook there what needs to be done about this.
All in all you made good work, all hardware was detected nicely except the =
graficcard, which is a huge achievement compared to the
old installer.
However, until this works out of the box I will not use DEBIAN, because I a=
lso have to manage my mother's and sister's PC's and I don't
dare to change their distro if I haven't gotten some experience on the new =
distro myself.
I can only get experience if I work with that system, and for that I need a=
grafical desktop (I prefer KDE). I do not want to crawl deep into
my system and configure a lot by hand, because I see myself doing that on t=
hree computers and then the motivation to change is gone.
Best regards
Gerald

netcfg 0.66 addresses exactly these issues, and has appeared in dailies
already.
