Comments/Problems:
Note 0:
The new 2.6-only businesscard image is groovy. It's certainly
smaller and sleeker. But there are still situations where a 2.6
kernel won't work, and 2.4 is still needed. (see Bug#261463:
"Missing drivers on powerpc 2.6 businesscard install") Would it
be possible to make a 2.4-only CD available?
Note 1:
It still asks for the "Linux floppy" driver module (twice) at the
"Detect Network hardware" phase and the "Detect hardware"
(looking for hard disks) phase. (See Bug#261463)
Note 2:
Manual network configuration still doesn't work! (See
Bug#261460: "Non-DHCP network config step of d-i is broken")
Note 3:
Because this is an OldWorld machine, I use BootX. This works just
fine for me...
Note 4:
Why is it necessary to have the partitioner "Check the swap
space"? (See Bug#261448)

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.
