The following installation report was posted to debian-boot, and,
according to my records, never followed up on. I am putting it in the
BTS so it will not be lost.

Hi all, I am not subscribed to the list so please copy on any replies (or=
=20
wait until I read the archive:-( )
used sarge-i386-netinst-20040122 written to CD and booted from CD.
Not sure if what I describe below is a bug, or intentional (to prevent=20
overwriting of existing installations).
I was re-installing debian from scratch after trying gentoo. As a result, =
my=20
hard drives were already fully partitioned and with valid filesystems on=20
them. They were
hda1 32MB ext2 - (planning to overwrite for new /boot)
hda2 6.7GB fat32 (win xp partition)
hda3 4.3GB reiserfs (was going to overwrite this as new root)
hda4 30GB LVM partition
hdb1 2GB swap
hdb2 14GB reiserfs (used for backup).
I reached the stage were it asks me partition the drive, and I declined - s=
o=20
it moved on to initialising and defining the filesystems and mount points.
HOWEVER, the list I was presented with only included the hdb drive - none o=
f=20
the partitions on hda showed up at all. (There were of course presented in=
=20
the installer style rather than as /dev/hdb1 etc)
The way I found to get the full list, was to manually enter a shell and use=
=20
cfdisk to remove and recreate the hda1 and hda3 partitions=20
Whilst I am pointing out issues during install, I would just like to raise =
one=20
other slight problem I had. This is after being used to the previous=20
installers (from woody)
I have an LVM partion in which there are logical volumes containing my home=
=20
directory and then related subdirectories. During installation I was asked=
=20
to create a non root user, so obviously created me. I had been expecting a=
=20
point before where I was asked to load any modules I wanted (as previous=20
installs) so I could have loaded lvm and then perhaps have mounted my home=
=20
directory in preparation for that point. (Of course it was trivial to dele=
te=20
the two .bash files that it had created and tidy up afterwards )
