Package: installation-reports
Severity: normal


Hi,

today I tried to perform a test installation on an old
Toshiba laptop Satellite 320CDS (low memory install, netinst cd, 
daily build from 17. Sept. 2007).
The system is lacking any network hardware, so I have to skip
the steps "Detect network hardware" and "Configure network",
and also the next step in the list, "Configure the clock" is
impossible to perform (says, it requires network. Hmm, this is
new in lenny, configuring the clock worked in etch here.)
So, I went to the next, "Detecting discs": that worked, but after
this, it tried to detect network hardware again. Always jumps 
back in the list to "Detect network hardware".
Ok, skipped again.
Install base system: worked fine.
After that, it tried to detect network hardware again, skipped again.
Set up users and passwords: worked fine.
After that, it tried to detect network hardware again, skipped again.
Configure the package manager:
Question whether to choose security updates and volatile or not: 
choose security updates only.
After this step, no more packages were available from cd anymore.
That means, that grub couldn't be installed: package not available.

Reason was:
The line in apt sources.list showing to the cd was commented out
(it started with a # now), while it worked before the step
"Configure the package manager"!!!

When the lines for security update (and volatile) are added to the 
sources.list, the existing lines should not be touched!!!
They worked, so why change them? 
And they are needed for completing the installation.




Kind regards
Holger

This bug reports about some weird behaviour regarding "setting
up the clock" and "configuring the package manager" on a low mem
machine without network card.

Since this report is very old, and no action seems to come up,
I close this bug.

Thanks
Holger
