Comments/Problems:
The gui installer looks great!
I had a blocking problem though. The installer would crash, ie the screen would
go black and the system would lock up completely, after a few changes to the
partition table, in the partitioner section of the installer.
(The info supplied here is from the finally-installed system, which was not
achieved with the installgui boot target.)
The sequence of events was:
I chose "erase entire disk & autopartition"
the partitioner offered me this scheme:
hda1 / 279.6M
hda5 /usr 5G
hda6 /var 3G
swap 378M
hda8 /tmp 403M
hda9 /home 51G
Tried clicking on 'swap' to enlarge it. I was unable to. Fine.
Deleted /home, /tmp, swap.
Click on FreeSpace, add new swap 512M, at beginning of free space. All ok.
Click on FreeSpace, add /tmp of 256Mb.
Screen goes black, system locked up.
Restart installation from the top, with 'installgui' and no other args.
In partitioner, choose "erase entire disk & autopartiton".
Create /home 10Gb and /data 41Gb.
Screen goes black, system locks up, on that last partition.
I am pretty sure this was before any filesystems were created,
but my notes lack that (now pertinent) detail.
The next install I tried was 'install' (ie still 2.6 kernel) so I
think this issue is isolated to the install GUI.

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.
