Package: debian-installer
Version: 20050403
I'm considering using Linux to perform our software development.
Currently, we use Solaris 8 on Sun workstations because our customer
does the same. We are going to purchase new workstations and may go with
PC/Linux rather then Sun/Solaris. I tried Gentoo, but had trouble with
some of their packages. I am trying Debian because of your reputation
for stability and package management.
This morning I installed Sarge on both an Ultra-5 and a Dell Pentium III
PC. I am very pleased that the install went so well. The package
management system downloaded the 700+ packages of the desktop option and
installed them without a problem. That's what we need so we can develop
our software rather then fight with bugs and dependency problems.
I played around with Woody yesterday and the Sarge installation is a big
improvement over Woody. By the way, I could not get the Sparc rescue.bin
floppy to boot. Error was something about a bad magic number. I wrote
the disk first using Sun Solaris and again with a Windows PC and got the
same error both times. The i386 rescue.bin floppy worked just fine.
Attached are the install reports and logs in two files, one for the
Sparc and one for the i386.

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.
