Comments/Problems:
I wanted to use the existing partition table, just reformat each partition. It seemed to take an excessive number of key presses to accomplish this.

Also, after I painstakingly setup all the partitions to erase and use, the right partition type (same one it was already formatted at, but i needed to reselect!), and the right mountpoint, I selected the "Setup LVM" menu option. This worked very nicely (very simple setup, NICE!), but then the installer took me back to the partitioner menu (with the added LVM partition) and it had forgotten all the stuff i had just entered!

But, overall *VERY* impressed with the ease of install. I did essentially the same install with the old debian installer about 7 months ago, and it was much more painful, consisting of manual LVM setup, among other issues.

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.
