Comments/Problems:
I set up the VMware virtual disk to map through
to the physical disk, which already had FAT16, FAT32LBA,
and Plan 9 partitions on it. There was an empty section
at the end that was intended for Linux.
The gui partitioner insisted that there was only a single
FAT16 partition taking up the whole disk, making it very
hard for me to create a Linux partition in the empty space.
I switched to a console and fdisk on /dev/discs/ide0/bus0/master0/otherstuff0/part0
(I forget the exact path)
had no problem creating the partition, but even then the gui didn't notice it and
wouldn't let me past that step. So I gave up and am now
installing using the oldWoody netinst. The partitioner
in that netinst had no problems with my partitions.

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.
