Comments/Problems:
Successful install.
First of all the install is much improved since the Woody install.
Here's some random comments:
In the prompt for network configuration method one of the options was a
blank line, yet it seemed to be selectable.
When I was using the partitioner during the install and had just created
a new partition it came out as "ext3 journalling" type. I changed this
to ext2 because this is what I'm used to, though I don't pretend to know
a lot about these fs types. Are you sure it should default to ext3
journalling?
When reading the Installation Manual online it said I should find some
documentation in /usr/share/doc/debian-guide but there was none. It
would be nice to have the Installation Manual and other mature debian
doc in HTML format to help one "get started" after an install.
After my previous Woody install, it took me a long time before I got
the internet going. So, again it would be nice to have some doc
loaded onto the system, especially doc on how to get connected to the
internet.
Again this time, I did not connect to the internet during the install.
I'm using PPPOE highspeed. Something about the install makes me think
connecting should be done afterwards. Which is what I did and it worked
very easily with pppoeconf.
Hope this helps.
Thanks to all you Debian people.

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.
