Comments/Problems:
The install process was undertaken on a Compaq EVO
610c Laptop computer.
I obtained the DVD image using jigdo from
http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/dvd/jigdo-area/
The DVD ISO image was created successfully and
burned to a DVD.
The DVD was inserted into the DVD drive and the
machine was rebooted.
The installer started correctly and prompted me to
type enter to trigger
the install process. I did this and the computer
then loaded linux,
apparently correctly, eventually presenting me with a
menu to choose language.
I chose English.
The next menu allowed me to choose Australia as my
country.
The next menu allowed me to choose American English as
my Keyboard layout.
The next screen detected my CD-ROM
The next screen scanned the CD-ROM (taking a couple
of minutes).
I was then allowed to modify the debconf priority
setting but I left it on high
by hitting the enter key.
I was then asked if I wanted to verify the CD-ROM
integrity and I declined the offer
(although I took up the offer on other runs through
the process to see if these was
a problem – there was not).
I was then allowed to run an interactive shell and I
did so. At that point it was not
at all clear to me what was required to complete the
installation process.
The hard drive did not seem to have been altered by
any of this process. I was expecting
a repartitioning exercise to be necessary – at
a minimum.
