Comments/Problems:

<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
      and ideas you had during the initial install.>
IMHO: "standard" install is too big a gap with desktop. installation guide
describes two intermediate tasks: "work console", "developer" --
where are they ? these just happen to be my purposes.

lspci command needs to be installed manually via package "pciutils". also parted
is missing: perhaps both are in the di-utils packages, get erased ???  again
xorg install fails from "standard", although it worked after i copied the xorg.cfg
file from my sarge upgrade i saved this time. i was tempted to try and build
up this system further but after sleeping on it i decided it was too risky.
starting up the computer, i tried to apt-get parted and the mirror was unavailable.
the installer had not given me option to set up an alternate mirror, so i zapped my
pram/nvram and went back to my old system.

installer continues to inflict minor damages upon my macos (both X and classic)
partitions, fixable but a pain and worrisome. sarge never did this.

if i were given a machine with a clean/wiped disk drive to install debian etch,
at this point i would continue the method of install sarge first and test, then
upgrade to etch, as the most reliable method. as the installation guide tells
us that is an established method.

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.
