Bug#289185: installation-reports
Package: installation-reports
INSTALL REPORT
Debian-installer-version: late-December 04, from a link off of Debian.org.
uname -a: Linux solidarity 2.4.27 #1 Thu Jan 6 17:26:24 EST 2005 i686
GNU/Linux (which is my own kernel now;the install was done using the default
Sarge kernel)
Date: 5 Jan 05
Method: How did you install? What did you boot off? If network
install, from where? Proxied?
I burned CD1 and booted from there; the rest of the distro was pulled via http
from ftp.us.debian.org; the download did go through a Debian Woody Squid
proxy on my local LAN. It all worked slick. :-)
Machine: Home-built clone with a Biostar M7NCG 400 motherboard (nVidia NForce2
chipset, integrated nVidia GeForce video, and an integrated i810/ac97 sound
card).
Processor: AMD Athlon 2700
Memory: 1 GB total (minus 128MB for the integrated video)
Root Device: IDE drive at /dev/hda formatted ReiserFS
Root Size/partition table
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 970 39761 19551168 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 1 969 488344+ 82 Linux swap
I hate having root on /dev/hda2 and found it a bit tricky to use the
installer's manual routine to set up swap as /dev/hda2 at the beginning of
the disk (the shell worked fine to run cfdisk manually:-).
