Bug#260553: i386 installation - OK
Package: installation-reports
INSTALL REPORT
Debian-installer-version: floppy images boot.img and root.img from
http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/images/20040715/floppy/
uname -a: Linux kyrrdis 2.6.7-1-386 #1 Thu Jul 8 05:08:04 EDT 2004 i586 GNU/Linux
(installer chose 2.4.26-1-586tsc, that's OK)
Date: 2004-07-16
Method: Machine didn't boot from cdrom (http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/
cdimage-testing/daily/i386/20040715/sarge-i386-netinst.iso), so
I tried floppy boot. After that, I did a network install from
an apt-proxy on our LAN.
Machine: a pile of used computer parts
Processor: Pentium 100
Memory: 128 MB
Root Device: /dev/hda1
Root Size/partition table:
/dev/hda1 * 1 486 3903763+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 487 7297 54709357+ 8e Linux LVM
Root is /dev/hda1. LVM on /dev/hda2 contains some swap space and
approximately 50G /home.

Comments/Problems:
Installation worked very well (although a little bit slow on this
hardware). I played with LVM configuration a little bit, looks fine.
First reboot stopped in hardware detection when "Loading e100 module"
with message "PCI: Enabling device 00:0a.0 (0000->0003)", but that's
probably a hardware problem (worked after hardware reset).
I've selected german for install, but base-config started US english
with US time zone preselected. Is this intentional?
Translation seems incomplete (doesn't trouble me, but probably the
computer magazine guys ;-).
Found tasksel and aptitude in base-config, but no dselect (which I'm
used to). Not a real problem.
