Comments/Problems:

I tried to resize the /dev/hda5 (ext3) partition I was prompted to save
the partition table and said yes,
then I endered a lower size and after a sound from the hard disk I was
taken back to the edit partion table dialog.
I retried this with different sizes from 10Gb to 20Gb.

Then after deciding to format /dev/hda5 and mount it as root I was
warned that my partition table had errors and this I should
return to fix them, I returned but was unable to fix the error (as I was
unsure what it was) and continued on with the intall
against the advice of the error messages. The install seems to work.

There was also a problem later after the reboot, as packages from
ftp.uk.debian.org via FTP were not working so I got them via HTTP.

I chose aptitiude as the package manager and then chaged my mind,
when I exited (by pressing q) the packages I had selected were installed
and setup I was then droped to a prompt,
I had expected no packages to be installed and to be presented with the
dialog showing the package manager choices again.

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.
