clone 602531 -1 reassign -1 clock-setup retitle -1 [powerpc?] clock-setup does not ask clock-setup/utc in expert mode thanks Hi Excerpts from Miguel Figueiredo's message of Fre Nov 05 22:06:39 +0100 2010: > If the problem was the missing non free firmware i suggest the bug to be closed > as we do not distribute non free firmware. There is also the clock-setup issue. It should definitely ask the clock-setup/utc question when run in expert mode. Also if the missing firmware leaves the system in a corrupt state so you can't even switch to a text console, this is a bug in the X server (xserver-xorg-video-r128). Jonathan can you confirm that it's not possible to switch to a text console after starting the X server without the firmware?
