Comments/Problems:
I have installed Debian many times to EIDI drives, this is the first install to a SATA drive.
Although this is not an "installer" problem, it probably helped with the confusion.
I marked "Config network" as Error, even though it worked, I found it very confusing.
A comment on starting a terminal and running pppoeconfig to install a DSL connection
would help. This wasn't a big problem for me, probably because of previous experience.
I found the partitioning area particularly confusing, even though I am not a novice at
partitioning hard drives. I ended up choosing auto-config and ended up with a huge /home
partition...much more than is reasonable.
Thanks....the product is getting better...

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.
