Comments/Problems:
-------------------------------------
Network problems:
Installer detected 2 network cards although I only have 1 in my notebook! I had to chose eth1 otherwise I got no network with eth0.
But with eth1 I was able to install over net.
-------------------------------------
Other problems:
When starting installer with
installgui vga=791
Installer freezed when graphical gui was started
-------------------------------------
My mouse pointer disappeared when using installgui. I have Synaptics touchpad and I was not able to use it. Had to navigate with keyboard.
Same when I plugged in my USB mouse - mousepointer disappeared.
-------------------------------------
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
and ideas you had during the initial install.>
The installer is very comfortable but I would REMOVE one step:
- Configuration of exim mail transfer agent - why should a normal user need this?
Beside that it was a little bit confusing to set the language settings for select-default-wordlist, select-default-ispell etc. (can't remember the exact names of them)
-> It would be better to ask user which language setting to use and set these settings for all other packages as well.
Good work!

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.
