Comments/Problems:
At first I couldn't complete the install: after reboot, base-install
failed on tasksel, broken dependencies or something. But it seems the
problem was on the debian servers side for the day after I was able to
complete the install with exactly the same settings. This problem
made me attempt several installs and I experienced the red screen
sometimes, not systematically.
Sometimes DHCP was detected at once, but two times it seems it was
detected "just too late": d-i reported a failure, but switching to
another console and typing ifconfig showed that the detection did
complete. After that, retrying DHCP detection from d-i succeeded
immediately.
/etc/fstab shows:
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0
1
/dev/hda5 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0
The cdrom line is OK (though I would rather have it mounted to /cdrom
directly, so that I can "mount /cdrom") but /media/cdrom0 doesn't
exist.
I don't know if this concerns d-i:
To get sound working, I had to add "skip i810_audio" in
/etc/discover.conf (oss-alsa conflict I guess), and "parport_pc" in
/etc/hotplug/blacklist (IRQ 7 conflict)
I found the X configuration a bit confusing: IIRC, I was told that
since I have an LCD screen that can only handle one resolution (or
something like that), I could only choose between 'normal' and
'advanced', so I chose 'normal', and I was asked for the resolution,
but I couldn't choose 1400x1050... After the install I edited
XF86Config-4 to add 1400x1050 and it works perfectly.
