Comments/Problems:

Most of the problems I found were already reported by other people
such as the ext3, hostname, proc, etc. so that explains some data
that are reported above since i fixed them by myself at a later stage.

- Configure network HW

It would be extremely nice if it was possible to have pcmcia support as well.
Some old laptops do not have integrated nic. But of course this is a wishlist
and not a real huge problem at the moment.

- Config network

Another good thing (IMO) would be to have IPv6 to install from the beginning.
I made an investigation in order to implement it and if the project will
stick on one floppy to start with than it useless to continue to read since there
will never be enough space :-). but if for instance it will be on 2 floppies
the IPv6 module takes approx. 65/70k, the changes to net-cfg are relativly simple
but the main issue could be busybox. commands like ifconfig and route should be
able to understand ipv6. They do in a very limited way that is actually not enough.
I need to investigate deeper in this direction anyway.

- Load installer modules

I selected some of them but I had a few doubt about the EVMS module.
it loads but how people are supposed to use it?

I have tried as well to install the 2.4.20 udebs, but at the first reboot the system
does not have 2.4.20 at all. I had to install it by hand after.

- Language chooser

It looks to me that it could be difficult for new users to understand things like:

nb_NO
nn_NO
se_NO
lv_LV

even if enter+enter+enter fits 99% of the system. A minimum description would
be just great.

- Partition hard drives

Basically it works but it would extremely simple if we culd use cfdisk instead of fdisk
that is kinda hard to use for new users.

- Create file systems

What about the swap? I tagged a partition as Linux Swap (82) but i didn't
got any chance to tell d-i to mkswap and put the relative entry in fstab

- Mount partitions

It would be a good idea to suggest /boot as well.
More than a problem a question: is there any specific reason why we have to use
the "." to end the manual mount option? is it related to the fact that 2.4 can
mount multiple times the same device to more mount points (that will make sence)?
See also above for the swap.. not really a mount but hey... a swapon execution
will be usefull

- Install base system

the netretriver cannot be stopped. this is somehow annoying if we select a wrong
mirror to fetch data from. I have also tried disconnecting the network cable for
more than a minute but it didn't timeout (to simulate net problems) is that normal?


- Install boot loader

Well you already know that grub does not work.
Lilo does not hounor other OS installed
on the system and it comes (of course due to space problems) with a really minimal
config. Should this problem be addressed in d-i or in base-config?
I believe that atleast other OS'es recongnition should be done by d-i to avoid new
users panicing at the first reboot, even if it could be done at a later stage
during the base-config step.... just my concern

- Reboot

The same warning that others have reported.

- After reboot (small issues)

The network module selected during the installation is not loaded, that will make the
installation process stop when it is time to fetch data.

It would be nice to have the default sources.ist pointing to sarge. I saw other discussion
about this issue already in other threads but at leasting during a testing phase
it would speed up, even if it is no more a d-i problem.

Looking at / i got a bit disappointed. I do NOT want to start a flamewar but looking
all the symlinks to kernel and initrd is kinda hugly, since there is no real technical
needs for them. Anyway this is just my opinion (I had to write it :-) )


Nice work guys!
Looking forward to test new versions soon

Regards
Fabio
