Bug#247095: about my Debian installation report
Retested with pre-rc2 businesscard CD:
This time around I can boot the installer with 'install' rather than
'install-safe'. Yay.
I got the red background rather than blue during the install, as
described on the pre-rc2 errata page. Display device is the builtin
Radeon Mobility 9200.
The minor inconvenience with unlisted FTP mirror selection still exists,
but I can certainly understand why it hasn't been seen to.
The bootstrap partition checking appears to be fixed. Both using the
existing partition and creating a new one (different size, different
position on the disk) worked OK.
Unstable base system install failed due to initrd-tools depending on
cramfsprogs and dash, neither of which were going to be installed, and
libreadline4 depending on libreadline-common, which was not going to be
installed (sorry, I lost the actual error messages for this). I had no
problems installing these packages using apt-get. Testing base system
install worked fine.
thanks,
