Comments/Problems:
Booted the CD in QEMU. On the boot prompt I typed:
linux26 debconf/priority=critical
preseed/url=ftp://**:**@**.net/incoming/preseed
languagechooser/language-name=English countrychooser/shortlist=US
console-keymaps-at/keymap=us
Remarks:
* I'd like to define the language in the preseed file, not manually and
also not on the boot prompt.
* DI still asks what debian mirror to use (it lists all dutch mirrors).
I've got these settings in the preseed file:
base-config apt-setup/uri_type select ftp
base-config apt-setup/country select Netherlands
base-config apt-setup/hostname string ftp.nl.debian.org
base-config apt-setup/directory string /debian
base-config apt-setup/another boolean false
Seems that hostname is not used...
* In the preseed file, I configured: apt-setup/uri_type select ftp
Works fine, but after that, the security updates are fetched from http
instead of ftp. Because http is behind a proxy, I want to use ftp. It
should be using either apt-setup/uri_type or should have a setting in
the preseed.
* mdetect, read-edid are installed during installation. I don't want
this, I want a minimal installation. And I haven't even selected any
tasksel yet.
* "There was a problem installing ..." dialog came up and this got me
back in the main menu at Select and install packages. Don't know what
went wrong. What log file to look at?
* I get a setserial question during installation, i that really
critical? I don't think so.
* I get ssh questions, are the really (all) critical?
Whoever reads this, thanks for the installer work so far (preseeding is
really cool!)
Cheers,
Kees

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.
