Comments/Problems:
I had recently installed Woody from CDs, therefore I had some experience,
which helped a lot. The X server, WWWoffle, and, printer file formats all
caused me great trouble when installing woody. But with Sarge I had the
benefit of experience.
My first mistake with sarge was to try to upgrade from Woody by download.
After I had downloaded aptitude and perl, I discovered that it was necessary
to update all the installed packages except for one. It would cost more to
do that than have the CDs mailed to me. So I had the CDs mailed to me.
The installer tried to set-up and use e-mail before I was ready.
I was installing from CD, so had not connected my Sarge installation to the
network.
Getting the X server to work caused difficulty. It failed to tell me why it
would not work. So (as a non-prividged user) I gave the command startx, this
also failed, but at least it told me that there was a fault relating to the
mouse.
My prior experience with RedHat was my clue to try startx.
My prior experience with Woody helped me to (as root) select /dev/psaux for
the mouse. This computer does not have a mouse, it has alittle gren thing
amongs the keys, and two switches to click with.
The Error message obtained by starting kdm, with incorrect mouse settings,
resulted in a error message which "strongly recommended" use of reportbug.
So I tried using reportbug, it did not seem to do anything. Perhaps I should
remind you that I did not have e-mail working at that point on this computer.
I have e-mail still on my old Redhat setup on an old computer. I had not set
up ppp. I do not know whether you will ever get any output from that
bugreport.
I will probably enjoy using Debian. However I will not recommend it to any
who has no experience of Linux.
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
and ideas you had during the initial install.>
Since starting to fill in the form , I installed kernel-image 686, and
forgot to install its pcmcia modules.

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.
