Bug#247095: about my Debian installation report

[Jonathan Matthew <jonathan@kaolin.hn.org>]

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,
