Comments/Problems:
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
and ideas you had during the initial install.>
Worked on Linux first at Jawaharlal Nehru Planetarium, Bangalore, India dur=
ing my
training for the International Informatics olymipad during 2002. Always wan=
ted to try
out Linux after that.
Read online about various distributions, and decided to go with Debian GNU/=
Linux. However
didn't know where to obtain it from, till a magazine provided a DVD.
First read someone else's experience at http://www.linuxjournal.com/article=
/5656,
I learnt that Dell Latitude C800 supports only the 1600x1200 screen resolut=
ion, and
that there is a problem with the auto detection of PCMCI. Hence I booted wi=
th the following
line
linux26 hw-detect/start_pcmcia=3Dfalse
The installation went perfectly, used tasksel to install only the desktop p=
ackage, and
switched to vt2 while configuring PPP and configured ADSL using pppoeconf
I am a computer engineering sophomore in Louisiana State University, Baton =
Rouge, and am
in India for my summer. In India my parents subscribe to a magazine called =
PcQuest and their
Decemeber 2004 issue contained the DVD that I used for the install. We have=
a PPPOE ADSL
connection at India and cable broadband at my campus in US.
apt-get and dpkg just worked, and I used the mirror site at IITM, India. I =
will change
the sources.list file once I am in USA.
Grub correctly identified Windows at hda1.
At campus, we use wireless internet, and I have not yet configured my wirel=
ess (I use
a PCMCIA 802.11b card). I have to find out how to do that.
The Debian reference manual on the web at qref.sourceforge.net is absolutel=
y wonderful
Sound card was automatically configured.
Install logs and other status info is available in /var/log/debian-installe=
r/.
Once you have filled out this report, mail it to submit@bugs.debian.org.

Thank you for your report and kind comments. It is very nice to see
somebody prepare himself as thouroughly as you seem to have done.
Closing your report as the installation was successful.
Good luck with your Debian system.
Cheers,
FJP
