Comments/Problems:
As above, a standard install though I skipped the Debian mirror
part since
I install packages from loop mounted DVD images (however even when
I did specify
a mirror, it didn't work...found the Release file but (the
installer) tasksel
couldn't seem to connect with the mirror). As a sidenote when I
later tried to
run tasksel after booting into the new system, that failed when it
complained about
answering yes to some questions when --force-yes wasn't given as
an option.
The main problem happened at the end with the "finish install"
step. As above it just
flashed a window and returned to the menu.
(Package related issues) Although I specified shadow passwords,
they were not set,
probably because of the finish prob above. I did a shadowconf on
to get it going.
Also the timezone wasn't set...as above. I installed kdm,kde,&xorg
via dselect.
They didn't set a useable video mode for the machine (640x480 I
believe). I needed to
go in and set the HSync and VRefresh explicitly in the xorg.conf
to get a useable
display. Also KDE would not initialize sessions. In both a new
user and an
established user, it would start to initialize the session but
then eventually return
to the login screen. To get into something I could use, I escaped
from the login screen
into console mode, logged in root, killed kdm, and then did a
startx. However, I could
only do one startx. After that if I killed X and tried to get it
going again, it
would complain about an openoffice being open and then X would die.
