Bug#264792: Acknowledgement (installation-reports: Installation report debian sarge installer)
Some issues I forgot to mention in the installation report is this:
I used dutch language settings installing.
At one point, I arrived at "configuratie van apt", where you get to
choose between countries for a debian mirror. The first item in the list
is "Informatie handmatig invoerenArgentinië". This should be two lines,
one with "Informatie handmatig invoeren" and one with "Argentinië".
I selected this option, and than nothing happened untill I killed
a perl process manually that appeard to hang. After that, I manually
entered the deb http:// line in sources.list, and everything worked ok
after that.
Another minor issue is that no dma, 32bit mode or umask irq setting was
used, I had to install hdparm to get these switched on. However, I
assume that this is by design and you won't do anything about it.
Final remark: I found aptitude much more confusing than dselect, it
really didn't make any sense to me.
Thanks for your great work,
Wouter
