Comments/Problems:
Using expert non graphical mode, being a bit cautious with partitioning as the 
machine is a 4x boot. (win, suse10.1, kubuntu, debian sid (now) )

1) initial install failed, tried netinst and businescard. Had used the stick 3 
days before to install sarge on a 32bit PC and only changed the iso to 64bit 
etch b3. Installer came up fine and after some configuration found the isos 
on the stick /dev/discs/disc6/part1 but was then unable to read from it. 
Close to give up I reinstalled the boot.image.gz to the stick and changed 
partition from sdc1 to sdc . That did it, either the later or the new 
boot.image.gz .
Proposal, if it is the boot.image: It might be implied, but may be better 
point out in the manuals to always update the boot.image.gz with the latest 
iso. (Still not know, is the installer in the boot.image? I though it would 
just generate a bootable stick with a Fat partition, so I did not update it 
first.)

2) While asking for a mirror, the text mentioned that 'ftp.your 
country.debian.org' is a save bet. Well, it was not in the list of mirrors 
(germany, de). :-)
Not a big issue, found a nice mirror close by and know how to change entries 
in the sources.list if required, but a glitch to recommend something which is 
not even selectable in the list.

3) For the first time I selected 'Desktop' when asked what kind of 
installation I want, to avoid dealing with apt-get on the console.
Well, (half expected) it installed Gnome. I'm a KDE user. OK, so I got KDE and 
kicked Gnome, but time was lost to fetch the, unwanted, Gnome desktop.
Proposal: At least mention that Gnome will be installed on the selection 
screen. Better offer more selections for KDE and XF(XC?).
If this is too much, there are other desktops/window manager out, what about 
an entry with xorg only (guess synaptic would already require a 
desktop/window manager).
That would be a head start into whatever desktop one want to install, bringing 
the time with apt-get to a minimum until synaptic can take over.

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.
