Comments/Problems:
Having been a Debian user for 9 years, I'm really impressed.
As far as the non-graphical installer goes: I consider it a featue not a bug -
a graphical installer really only looks better but doesn't give additioanl
functionality or ease of use. And surely, a non-grphical installer is way more
frugal regarding resources - think people in less privileged countries.
I'll try to avoid the old hat stuff like vicious circle for apt or outdated
kernel. The things I consider most severe are makred with '*', the rest is '-'.
At the end are a few remarks regarding testing in general. Although not part
of d-i, I thought I mention them because they had a lage impact on my
installation experience...
Initial install from CD:
- 'Detecting hardware' runs *three* times all in all. Can't we bring that down
to 1? (Maybe the fact that I don't have a floopy is responsible.)
- name server should default to gateway rather than being blank IMHO (if no DHCP)
- the hostname is being asked for twice, not good
- domain not asked for, not good
* there is no feedback during filesystem and mountpoint creation, not good
('Creating filesystems and mount points - please, stand by' would suffice)
* there is no possibility to do a badblock scan of the HDD, not good
- 'Installing base system' stops at 75% and finishes, cosmetic but irritating
- 'Installing extra packages' stops at 66% and finishes, cosmetic but irritating
(less than above because quicker)
- install does not try/offer to setup Australian Telstra Bigpond cable modem via
bpalogin (yeah, might only be me but than again not...)
After reboot:
* I get a message saying: Invalid hostname "aurich3" and some blurb - aurich3 is
definitely a perfectly valid hostname!
- hotplug is not part of CD - I'm surprised, there's is probablt a reason, though
* lilo config should default to offering choice so that people can specifiy things
like 'single'
After installation:
* the X windows packages are terribly outdated - there is no excuse for this!
* configuration of xserver-xfree86 should really offer 1280x1024@60 (because
that's what I use ;-) and so do many others - better 17" TFT)
* X windows is still not working for me, I finally get a graphical screen, the
mouse is working, *the keyboboard isn't* and I can't even boot into single mode
to examine the situation - cf. above regarding lilo setup (yeah, I can boot the
Installation CD in rescue mode I suppose) My system is more than a year old!
- why is gdm not part of the gnome package (I have selected gnome in dselect)?
- time is messed up
- many outdated packages: postfix 2.0.16, mozilla 1.5, xsane 0.91, X,...
- Question: Do you want set up mandb setuid man? Explanation: nothing <doh>
- had to speciify the paper size twice
and so forth...
Bottom line: Debian is truely great (tried RedHat, Mandrake, Suse) - but still
only for the initiated - not read for the average desktop user :-(
