INSTALL REPORT

Debian-installer-version: 20041009
http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/i386/current/ 
uname -a: Linux debian 2.6.8-1-686 #1 Tue Sep 14 00:22:58 EDT 2004 i686 GNU/Linux
Date: Sun Oct 10 02:25:55 CEST 2004
Method: I downloaded sarge-i386-netinst.iso, burned it to a CD-RW, and tried
to boot from that, but that didn't work (see below). I created 2 bootfloppies
instead and booted from those. Then I went ahead and performed a network 
install with the following in my /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ testing main. The install was
nonproxied.

Comments/Problems:

First I tried sarge-i386-netinst.iso, burned to a CD-RW, but that failed
to boot with the message "ISOLINUX 2.04 2003-04-16 isolinux: Disk error
01,AX=4263,9f". (I had the same problem with Woody, by the way...)

I verified that the CD-RW was burned correctly by booting it in another
computer without problems. Then I downloaded a Knoppix iso and tried
that, because I thought that maybe my Aopen DVD-ROM was flakey, but the
Knoppix cd booted OK. I tried to verify what Knoppix said about ISOLINUX, but 
it flashed by to fast to see... I gave up at this point and created 2 boot
floppies, but if more information would be helpful just send me an email
and I will try to answer any questions.

Everything went very smoothly after I had created the bootfloppies.
Keep up the good work!

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
  Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
  the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
  D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
  fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful


The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet. 

In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.

You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.

If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.

Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
