Base System Installation Checklist:
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it
Initial boot: [O]
Detect network card: [O]
Configure network: [O]
Detect CD: [O]
Load installer modules: [O]
Detect hard drives: [O]
Partition hard drives: [O]
Install base system: [O]
Clock/timezone setup: [O]
User/password setup: [O]
Install tasks: [O]
Install boot loader: [O]
Overall install: [O]
Comments/Problems:
- During the "Install boot loader" step, the password asked for GRUB can't be typed twice to double-check, and after examining /boot/grub/menu.lst, it appears that the "password" option line set by the installer is :
password --md5
(i.e. : the salted md5 that should be there after --md5 is... empty ?!)
- I'd rather have eth0 as the wired ethernet, eth1 as the wireless ethernet card... my own preference
- In the console, after the post-install first boot, french accents like "é" or "è" are not displayed correctly : e+' ("é") showed as "\xc3\x89" and interpreted as u+^
I had selected fr_FR.UTF-8 as the default locale, and it is currently set in LANG, and LC_ALL il empty. Setting LC_ALL=fr_FR (ISO-8859-1), "locale" shows everything=fr_FR, but the accents are still showing as (other) wrong chars : e+' ("é") is showed as "\xc9", interpreted as "the female symbol".
- Perhaps lower the kernel messages verbosity in the console, by default ? dmesg -n 1
- At the end of the installation process, there should be a screen with a list of the installed/detected drivers that cannot work without downloading a firmware (i.e. : for wireless cards, perhaps it's possible to detect that a firmware is missing for the card to work, then notify the user about it)
- My hard disk installation layout was "encrypted LVM", and I chose "aurora" as the name of the LVM volume, but I think I read messages like "volume aurora not found" or "group aurora not found" while booting. Anyway, the boot was 100% OK
- Do an update-pciids after / before / during netinstall ? if needed
- I would find it cool to be able to select a shell (zsh...) while creating the first non-root user during the installation (in expert mode)
- Thanks for the painless, encrypted harddisk, network install :)
