Comments/Problems:
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
and ideas you had during the initial install.>
I used this installer because my old one didn't load the NIC module. Basically
it worked fine.
* I was irritated because at first I had set up disk partitions with Knoppix,
then installed Windows and now the installer forced me to write the partition
table again, even though there were no modifications. I would have liked to
skip the partitioning.
Installing a desktop system installed 500+ MB of packages which mostly where
already on /var/cache/apt/archives on my router available via NFS. I don't
know how to access that during install so the data was d/led unneccesarily
during nearly 2 h. I previous installs I activated NFS during reboot and
symlined .../apt/archives to the server, but it was not a clean solution IMO
and rather tricky, too. So I quickly set up a squid http cache while the
installer was downloading and wanted to make the proxy transparent for
debian.inode.at but before I could populate the cache with the packages the
download was complete.
I didn't find a module that supports the internal modem (see lspci).
I discovered this in /var/log/dmesg:
PnPBIOS: Scanning system for PnP BIOS support...

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.
