INSTALL REPORT
Debian-installer-version: 2004-01-09 people.debian.org/~manty/testing/...
uname -a: Linux swordfish 2.4.23-1-386 #1 Sun Nov 30 16:49:14 EST 2003 i686 GNU/Linux
Date: 2004-01-10, 20:00 - 0:20 hours CET
Method: How did you install? What did you boot off? If network
install, from where? Proxied?
Burnt the debian-installer image (the bigger, around 100M in size) on a
CDRW, and booted from that.
cdrom-detect: Detected CD 'Debian GNU/Linux testing "Sarge" - Official
NetInst Snapshot i386 Binary-1 (20040109)'
I did not specify anything at the boot prompt first. Later I rebooted
since I could not see the bottom of the installation messages, and I
wrote: "Linux vga=ask" at the boot prompt. I have chosen 80x30, and that
way everything worked.
I did not have access to the Internet, so I did not download anything else.
Machine: Compaq Evo N610c
Processor: Pentium4 Mobile 1800
Memory: 256M
Root Device: IDE /dev/hda
Root Size/partition table:
at installation time I have just created a 256M partition for /
After the installation, and base system installation I have installed
LVM, and now I am using logical volumes.

[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it
Comments/Problems:
For some reason the installer thought that I had a 80x30 display, and it
tried to use that area. I was in 80x25, so the last 5 lines were not
visible.
I managed to get through until the partitioning step, where I did not see
what cfdisk has printed, and I got lost.
I tried to solve the problem on another VT, but setting LINES did not
help, and I did not know what to do.
I rebooted, with vga=ask I have specified 80x30, and everything worked.
Thoughts: Even if I don't want an expert install, I would like to be asked
if I have network, or if I want to install network at all.
I would also like to be able to set the debconf question level before
configuring all the packages.
After installation the PCMCIA subsystem did not work. During installation
everything was loaded, but it seems that the installer forgot to include
yenta_socket into the list of modules to be loaded before trying the other
PCMCIA modules.
Anyway, good impression, good work.
Regards,
Gee

I'm processing old installation reports, and have, finally, gotten to
yours. Thanks for talking the time to file an installation report.
I'm closing your installation report, after determining that:
- Some problems you reported are no longer present in current versions of t=
he
installer.
- Some problems you reported are known, and have existing bugs in the BTS.
- Your report included suggestions that we have decided not to implement,
or to do in some other way.
If you can, please try installing again using a current version of the
debian installer. I recommend the tc1 release, which you can find on our
web page, <http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/>. If you can, try
to reproduce the problems you reported using it, so we can verify that
they're all fixed. We look forward to your new installation report.
