Comments/Problems:
Booting was OK, selection of language should be different. Why can't I
just say LC_ALL=C ?
Oh and of course I need support for my German keyboard with umlauts.
They don't work out-of-the-box
(can't type them at console). Time zone selection: UTC should appear in
first dialogue.
Installer complains about not being able to access security updates at
http://blah/blah -
why is there no check beforehand if you have internet access at all / if
network i-faces are working?
This is ridiculous. If an ethernet device is found, setup should
automatically use DHCP to configure it.
If it fails - prompt user to manually input IP/netmask/etc. Networking
is the most important thing right
after a working kernel! It also would be appreciated if an
/etc/apt/sources.list could be generated with
a nifty console tool right after installation so that I can choose which
distro etc and it'll do it all
for me. I created my sources.list by hand from scratch, which is no big
deal but what if there are changes
I am not aware of? Or is there a package that will do the trick? Please
enlighten me.
Otherwise fine linux distro, I love it for servers and it's nice for
desktops, too but I find that an
"apt-get install kde" installs too much crap and not the really
important packages to actually run X at all!
Also, why am I not being asked whether I wish a graphical login or not
after the X installation? I do NOT
want it by default but it just makes it so and where is the shutdown
button? Ctrl+Alt+Backspace ??

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.
