Bug#267913: installation-reports: set timeout for syslinux



Package: installation-reports
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I found d-i won't progress when I use tftpboot with USB keyboard (non
BIOS PS/2 emulation).

Of course d-i is loaded, but because syslinux timeout is defined as
infinite and control of USB keyboard is already passed to OS instead
of BIOS, so I couldn't input Enter key and start progress.
(By changing timeout value of tftp configuration, I can succeed.)

IMHO it is better to all syslinux has appropriate timeout value (1
minute?).

I found "set the syslinux timeout to 0 on floppys, to match the CD" by
JoeyH in debian-installer's changelog. Does timeout cause a trouble?

Thanks,
