Package: installation-reports
severity: normal
Hello,
First round on testing hetch installer... And kudos to the d-i team. The
graphical installer is really nice.
The media used is the netinst iso has been grabed at
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/i386/iso-cd.
This iso is dated : 20061021.
I tested a bunch of Dell Optiplex boxen and things went fluently (french
install, text and graphical d-i, mix of usb & ps2 keyboard/mouse)
I had a failling on one of the box I tested, though. D-I-classic (text)
works find but d-i-graphical doesn't work.
The box is a Dell Optiplex GX110.
