Method: I booted from the netinstall CD and began installation with linux26.
All choices were made, but everything stopped at 61% of the base-install. So
I started again, this time with linux24. Everything went fine, but on the
'smoke test' the computer booted continuously. So once more I started over,
this time with expert26, and I could boot to my fresh sarge. But the problems
weren't over: I could not install any packages from the internet because my
ISP has a web-based authentication (pppoe-conf worked just fine), and the
netinstall cd has no javascript-enabled browser. So I had to reboot with a
knoppix cd and download curl and its dependencies to

Comments/Problems:
I booted from the netinstall CD and began installation with linux26. All
choices were made, but everything stopped (freeze) at 61% of the
base-install. So I started again, this time with linux24. Everything went
fine, but on the 'smoke test' the computer booted continuously. So once more
I started over, this time with expert26, and I could boot to my fresh sarge.
But the problems weren't over: I could not install any packages from the
internet because my ISP has a web-based authentication (pppoe-conf worked
just fine), and the netinstall cd has no javascript-enabled browser. So I had
to reboot with a knoppix cd and download curl and its dependencies to use a
work-around script. After the install of my packages, I still had a lot of
problems, but I don't know if they are related to the installer: my first
install of kde didn't work (freeze after login in kdm or startx), but I just
uninstalled and reinstalled and it worked. And I had nothing in
my /etc/network/interfaces file, not even the loopback device!

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.
