Package: debian-installer Version: rc1 Severity: minorI'm currently in the process of installing Sarge on a workstation, using sarge-i386-netinst.iso retrieved from
http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/i386/rc1/sarge-i386-netinst.iso today. I had it talk German to me.Being an old hand in Debian installations, out of sheer habit I did quite a bit of fiddling with the partitions. In the end, I had configured /boot on /dev/hda1, one big LVM PV on /dev/hda2, a single LVM VG to use it, and different LVs with ext3 partitions for /, /var, /usr and /home, as well as swap. And finally a third of the hard disc left free for further developments.
When I was through with the fiddling, a text came up to the extend that Debian supposedly does not support /boot or root on LVM, and that it probably wouldn't work.
I didn't believe that, so I took a chance and indeed - without any further manual intervention to this respect, the machine came up into itself (i.e., without the CD inserted) to complete the next step of the installation. While I write this, it's downloading loads of packages from the local apt-proxy.
Smooth sailing.
