Package: installation-reports
The problem is that the partitioning "dialog" overuses "continue"
button -- it works like "next", it works like "configure" and it
works like "switch", yet at all time it is labeled as "continue".
For example -- if you want to finish partitioning you have to
select "done with partitioning" and click "continue", if you want to
change partition you have select partition and select "continue".
I made some "loops" already because I was clicking continue to move
forward not noticing what is selected.
Possible solutions:
a) make partitions entries not as text, but as buttons -- so
configuring them would be more obvious, and then use "continue" are
really "continue" (i.e. moving forward with installation)
b) change "continue" label on-fly, so if "continue" means in given
context "switch", label it "switch"

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.
