Bug#268103: Bug in install procedure



Package:installation
Severity:normal

Actually, this is more of an inconsistency than a bug.  I tried to
install Debian on my computer two different times (since the first time
didn't work).  The first time, I booted my computer using CD 2, and the
second time I booted from CD 1.  The options presented in the various
installation menus were dramatically different when I booted from CD
instead of CD 2.  On CD 1, for example, there was no section for
installing usb modules, and on CD 2 there was no place that I could
install the ntfs drivers.  Also, when I installed from CD 2 I kept
getting an error that LILO could not be installed, but I did not get the
error when booting from CD 1.  Another, less important difference is
that the display was crisper and showed a penguin on CD 1.  I don't
recall seeing the penguin when I booted from CD 2.

Fortunately, this should be very easy to fix.  It seems pretty obvious
that CD 2 (and probably CD's 3 to 7) boot to an older version of the
installer.

I installed from the debian-30r2-i386 isos, and I fetched them using
jigdo.  The primary server used was http://linux.csua.berkeley.edu/debian.
