First: is there a problem with building d-i daily builds?
I downloaded a daily build yesterday (20061120) and the file
had timestamp from that day, too. But when starting d-i and go
to F1 on boot prompt, there is mentioned 20061102!
And also the file lsb-release says:
	DISTRIB_RELEASE="3.1 (installer build 20061102)


Boot method: netinst CD

Comments/Problems:

Huh, I got a new test machine :-) 
233MHz Laptop with 32 MB RAM and 4 GB disc.

1. 	low memory mode worked fine!
2.	Question whether clock is set to utc or not was not asked
	in default install. Is that correct?
3.	I installed from a netinst cd and only wanted to install a
	minimal system, so without any other package source. But it
	seems there is no grub or lilo existing on the netinst cds.
	From syslog:
"Package grub has no installation candidate
Package grub is not available, but is referred to by another
package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been
obsoleted, or is only available from another source
Calling 'apt-install grub' failed"

	Therefore it is not possible to get a working system without
	additional package source. ???
	If this is no error, there should be some documentation
	changed about this.
4.	Great, that it's possible to install modern linux
	distributions on such old machines.


Attached is hardware-summary and syslog file.


Thanks
Holger

I'm closing this report, since it is very old, and there has been 
no action.
