Comments/Problems:

<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
      and ideas you had during the initial install.>


I did a "non-expert" install.
At task selection, I chose Desktop and Mail Server. All seemed to go well at that time, except that it took a very long time at "configuring printconf". 

However:
After the initial reboot, I tried to configure a printer, and encountered trouble. 
From the menu -bar I chose Desktop -> Administration -> Printing
In the Printers window, I chose Printer -> Add Printer
In the Add a Printer (step 1 of 2) window I chose Network Printer -> UNIX Printer (lpd) and entered the host name and queue name, and clicked Forward. In the Add a Printer (step 2 of 2) window the drop down list of manufacturers was empty. So was the list of Models and the list of Drivers. In desperation, I clicked on Install Driver, and the Select a PPD File window opened but an Error window also opened saying "The Application 'gnome-cups-add' has quit unexpectedly."
On a somewhat related note, I selected US english and Apple US keyboard and US/Eastern timezone and in genteral did everything I could to indicate that I was in the US. Nevertheless, the /etc/ papersize file has "a4" in it. For my environment, "letter" would have been more appropriate. 


Installation log files are available on request.

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.
