Comments/Problems:
No real details about errors... and debootstrap files nearly empty. Could retry if you will and
provide more details.
My comments :
Detection of CD, IDE and net was ok. Installer however did not included any devices for the floppy, so
floppy could not be mounted and command to save logs failed... without errors.
List of keyboard seems sorted strangely (belgian not in the first entries).
Naming of the IDE disk is surprisingly long... and way to navigate in the partitions could
be dangerous (the 'Finish' entry could be more 'highlited', I miss it for several minutes asking how to
leave the screen)
Nice installer, more intelligent that the previous one. Will it include also a video card/screen detector to
ease:automate the X installation like Redhat?

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.
- Your report mentions some strange problems that seem unlikely to be
present in current versions of the installer.
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.
