Hi!
I "ported" the Babelbox to work with Squeeze (grub2 and gdm3). I
already updated http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/BabelBox and
uploaded the babelbox.tar.gz to my people.d.o page. Feel free to put
that back to the d-i webpage and change the link back.
Attached is the complete diff between the old babelbox, and mine.
Changelog would read:
* Port babelbox-grub and cronscript to grub2
* Port preseed_late to grub2 and gdm3
* Update langlist (Comments appreciated bubulle, not sure if it's
correct)
* rm obsolete xorg.conf
* preseed.cfg:
* Updated to reflect volatile and partman changes
* Don't install grub1, grub2 or lilo (had an error message and it's
not used at all, so why bother)
* Don't install the complete desktop and standard task, takes far to
long; instead install a minimal gnome-System
The later results in a drop of the number of the installed packages from
about 1300 to about 650.
Works very well on my setup (virtualbox with a full mirror on the host
system).
However, I noticed two glitches, I didn't had the time fix properly:
1) One installed language (forgot which, sorry) asked a dictionary
related question, which was not preseeded.
2) Sometimes the virtual monitor was turned off during the installation
due to inactivity. I think it always happened using the gui
installer, but not with the text installer, so I guess it's
X-related? However, droping the desktop task and installing minimal
gnome "solved" the issue for me, as the installation is now fast
enough :)
Best Regards,
Alexander
