Base System Installation Checklist:
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

Initial boot worked:    [O]
Configure network HW:   [O]
Config network:         [O]
Detect CD:              [O]
Load installer modules: [O]
Detect hard drives:     [O]
Partition hard drives:  [O] (but see below)
Create file systems:    [O]
Mount partitions:       [O]
Install base system:    [O]
Install boot loader:    [O]
Reboot:                 [E]

Comments/Problems:

1) Partioning -- It's unclear how to tweak partman-auto's output.  I would
   have preferred to use the multi-user workstation scheme, and then tweak
   up the size of the root partition (see my Bug#328514).  I eventually
   settled on restarting the whole install process and just using the
   standard desktop scheme.
2) Choosing to go back from partman-auto does not take you back a step in
   newbie mode; it drops you into expert mode.  Way not intuitive.
3) My first attempt to reboot after base install started a continuous
   scroll of the error message "evdev: no more free evdev devices", with
   a dead keyboard.  Hitting the reset switch made everything magically
   start working.
4) The URL for the Oregon State mirror in the US is different between the
   base install and the after-reboot install; the CD uses
   debian.oregonstate.edu and after reboot it uses debian.osuosl.org.
   They both work, but the difference was confusing at first.
5) When an error occurs during task install, it's hard to see what the
   error message was, because the installer goes back to the dialog
   interface immediately, and doesn't say where to look for the error
   log (since it's no longer just on another VT).
6) The desktop task was broken.  Apparently that's a known issue.
7) The standard system task has recommended packages (which you see if
   you're paying attention at the right time, but otherwise might miss).
   That seems wrong.  If it's a task to build a standard system, one of
   the following seems more appropriate:
   a) Drop the recommended packages (because they're not really "standard")
   b) Depend on the currently just recommended packages (because they
      really should be part of a standard install)
   c) Make another task that includes (a possibly larger set of)
      recommended packages that don't make the "standard" cut --
      standard-plus?  standard-extras?  recommended?
8) The timezone set during the CD install did not carry over to the
   built system; I had to tzconfig manually after installation was complete.

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.
