Base System Installation Checklist:
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it
Number in brackets: number of comment (see below)

Initial boot worked:    [O] [1]
Configure network HW:   [O] [2]
Config network:         [O]
Detect CD:              [O]
Load installer modules: [O]
Detect hard drives:     [O]
Partition hard drives:  [O]
Create file systems:    [O]
Mount partitions:       [O]
Install base system:    [O] [3]
Install boot loader:    [O]
Reboot:                 [O]

Comments/Problems:

[1] The initial boot banner is not displayed. The screen looks like this:

      ok boot cdrom
      Boot device: /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/cdrom@2,0:f  File and args:
      SILO Version 1.4.9
      \
      boot:

    I believe that banner should be displayed instead of \ symbol. This
    problem was present in the sarge installer as well.

    The language choice menu presents only two choices: C or English.

[2] All window frames in the first stage are drawn using ASCII symbols -+|
    instead of pseudographics. In the second stage they are displayed
    properly.

[3] During the base installation (the longest step) my console was blanked
    unexpectedly. This does not affect the installation, but the screen is
    garbled until redrawn later. Console blanking should probably be
    turned off somewhere early in the installation process.
All these problems are pretty minor, looks like you guys done a great job yet again. Congrats! 

Best regards,

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.
