Package: debian-installer



Hi,

I downloaded the netinst CD image of 05-Sep-2006 02:09 from
<http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/i386/i
so-cd/debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso> and installed it in a VMware
environment. The virtual machine was equipped with a 64 MB RAM and a 2
GB hard drive. At the boot prompt I entered the following:

install brltty=ht,ttyS0,de



It was pointed out to me that the installer is running in low memory
mode and that all messages will appear in English. When asked for a
country and the keyboard layout, I chose Germany both times. In a consol
the keyboard layout worked right. The standard system was installed and
loaded by a FTP mirror.



After the installation I noticed that the keyboard layout obviously did
not work right as the umlauts (ä, ö, ü, ß) did not work. Instead of the
umlaut, a blip is audible via the PC speaker. The language is also not
installed as chosen because the messages from aptitude are given out in
English.



When I repeated the installation with more working storage, everything
worked right.



Best Regards, Simon

We are closing this bug report against debian-installer 
for one of the following reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
  Installer.
- indications in the bug report give the feeling that
  the reported problem was lying 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.
