Comments/Problems:
Here is my report on installing with reiser after last night's failed
attempt at using xfs. Some comments:
During the installation the partitioning of the disk(s) is more
complicated and/or difficult that it should be. There are several
different methods on the netinst disk and most of them are a pain to
use and get in the way. Both times I used the menu item "Configure and
mount partitions" and this was easy to get the configuration I wanted.
The only problem is it apparently does not tell the installation
process that the disk(s) have been configured so every time I finish a
step the installer wants me to partition the disks!
Reboot went well except for fsck.reiserfs was not found.
fsck.reiserfs was not found during the boot up.
Grub was the boot manager choosen during the installation process but
during the post-install LILO was installed -- why? Luckily it wasn't
installed.
I'm guessing you've heard this a million times so I'll add my voice: why
isn't the 2.6 kernel installed? It is more important to me to have
sarge have a modern kernel rather than the old 2.4 kernel which is
about to join 2.2 in maintenance mode. I really hope the when sarge is
made the stable release it will be based on the 2.6 kernel -- even if
this results in an additional delay.
I hope this feedback is useful and I've filled in all the proper
information in a meaningful way. If not, please let me know the
correct way.
TIA,
Bill

Bug#239270: marked as done (During the install I selected US, The Netherlands, US American as keyboard layout and then continued the install. At the end when you can opped to run stuff like tasksel I did one install with and one without running tasksel. Then you get the "Thank you for ...." screen and then the prompt popsup, yet above the prompt there was the following message: "error: Should never end up here using 'ANSI_X3.4-1968'". The guy's at #debian-boot asked me to post this bug report and told me that the bug must come from /usr/sbin/termcap. I don't know this, but maybe it a good pointer. They also asked me to add the /var/log/installer.log and /etc/locale.gen file. I don't know how to add those, but if needed I will mail them on request (By e-mail).)
