Base System Installation Checklist:
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it
Initial boot worked: [0]
Configure network HW: [0]
Config network: [E]
Detect CD: [0]
Load installer modules: [0]
Detect hard drives: [0]
Partition hard drives: [0]
Create file systems: [0]
Mount partitions: [0]
Install base system: [E]
Install boot loader: [0]
Reboot: [0]
Comments/Problems:
I. The network couldn't be configured because I use PPPoE, i managed to
configure it after the reboot (this is a known issue, I've read on the
webpage).
II. The base system didn't install, because:
1. Deboostrap error: no such script /usr/lib/debootstrap/scripts/etch
solution: I copied the /usr/lib/debootstrap/scripts/sid to etch
2. Couldn't download:
at, exim4, ipchains, mailx, exim4-config, exim4-base, exim4-daemon-light
note: the packages aren't on the netinst CD!
solution: I removed the packages from the install script
3. Couldn't meet dependencies of initrd-tools:
cramfsprogs, dash missing from the install script
solution: I added those packages to the install script
4. Couldn't meet dependencies of whiptail and other packages that
depend on libslang2
solution: I added libslang2 to the install script
III. Apt-setup should ask if I want to add more sources when adding an
http source, but instead it just went to the next step(choosing packages
to install)
solution: I added the local mirrors, and cdroms first,(in this case
apt-setup asked me if I want more sources added) and then the
http source
Note: when I downloaded the netinst CD image yesterday it was the
newest, today I see that a new one has been added, I haven't tested that
one. You can see the URL of the CD I tested on top
Thanks you,
Edwin

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.
