Comments/Problems: When choosing what to load skipped preconfigs and looked at detail, thinking I could backup and choose a preconfigure after (ala redhat), no joy. Did load after install of base only.

<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
      and ideas you had during the initial install.>
          Would have liked a gui disk partitioner. I couldn't figure how run the manual partition. Wanted a larger swap - maybe just that would be nice, autopartition with ability to specify swap size?
    Wanted to look at the detail of installable packages, then back out to preconfigured packages, couldn't.
    Tried to do the install with the 100BaseT interface, but couldn't take all the link error messages. Sun nics never could auto negotiate. I haven't gone back to the 100 interface to see if I can force it and keep it quite, if possible that would be a nice add on for install - hard to read the install curses menus with scrolling errors on the nic.
    Don't know what is up with mirrors. I was able to browse the mirrors from a web browser on another machine but I could not install from them, only from the debian.org mirror. I ended up installing the base twice, maybe add a note in the install docs that not all the mirrors may be available and to keep trying.
    At end of install the console scrolled with serial errors, BREAK+boot got me going again - could have been hypertem.
    Enough of the bad ---
    The net install is cool -- I really apreciate not having to burn all those CDs.
    Surprise! SMP on first boot. I worried for naught. SMP on no identical cpus, cool.
    Hardware support was painless - where did HAPPY MEAL come from ? :)

Install logs and other status info is available in /var/log/debian-installer/.

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.
