	Sorry, no.  The problem is not the subject line, is the
structure, it should be well formatted, otherwise people will
have to spend time formatting your text to understand what's
going on, and considering the number of bugs that people involved
in D-I needs to deal and read everyday, the better you write the
bug report the easier you get feedback and problems solved. :-)

	Your e-mail should be something like:

[...]
[O] Configure network
[E] Detect CD
[O] Load installer modules
[...]


	Instead of everything in the same line. The
installation-report has a structure, we just need you keep that
structure and take care for your e-mail client do not mess with
it. Once you give us a clearer information about what happened,
I'm sure people will look into it and try to help.

	You can also look for help in debian-user mail list:

		http://lists.debian.org/debian-user


	I hope this helps.

Kind regards,
