Comments/Problems:

- installer didn't detect that the / partition was too small for the
installation - it also didn't tell me how much space it would need, so I had
to install on "good luck" which failed

- after installation I ran base-config again... and without me chosing
anything it installed packages from woody!!! In /etc/apt/source.conf there
was everything commented out except security.debian.... stable....!

- later I edited source.conf and ran apt-get dist-upgrade... now it
installed again testing

- running base-config again... just for looking at it... and it continued
installing things

- X-server doesn't run

- I give it up and try to install from scratch. Although I have a lot of
experience in Linux, FreeBSD and so on, I don't know much of debian... so I
am sorry if my explanations are not filled up with debian-internal knowledge

- Well, a positive thing.... the new installer is much better than the one
of woody - but still it's harder to get Debian to run than FreeBSD :(


Greetings,
Oliver

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.
