Comments/Problems:

Another quick install - 10mins from booting the installer to rebooting
into the base system.  And for the first time ever on this machine, X
worked 'out of the box' after installing x-window-system-core and
fluxbox - no tweeking xorg.conf :)

I'm a bit confused by not being able to run lspci

The grub install was fine except there seemed to be repeat entries and
some with misleading titles. I've got 5 linux systems plus XP on this
box.  Attached are the auto-generated menu.lst and a cleaned up version
removing extraneous entries.  The uncleaned version booted all 5 systems
but I didn't try every entry (ie. the ones that seemed confused).  This is
unlikely to be a problem many people will come across :)

I thought the sarge installer was pretty easy after woody but this is a
breeze - again ... brilliant work :)

Thanks

Clive

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.
