Date: <Date and time of the install>

Machine: Dell Latitude D630
Partitions: <df -Tl will do; the raw partition table is preferred>

Comments/Problems:

* If I leave the "domain" field empty in the hostname selection screen,
  resolv.conf expectedly only gets a "nameserver" line, and the resolver
  does not resolve my (non-fully-qualified) proxy name.  Although it is
  normal, I have to switch to tty4, where the log just tell that the mirror
  does not carry wheezy (sic).

* I do not remember any prompt telling me to check time, but TZ is correctly set

* when partitionning (assisted lvm), double clicking on a partition
  to see details, then back to main screen, the partition is still
  selected and clicking on "continue" unexpectedly just enters the same
  partition-editing dialogs again

* only a single task to be selected in the installer (standard system utilities),
  probably why no desktop env has been installed (selected XFCE)

* selecting task-french, task-french-desktop, task-xfce triggers conflict between
  - myspell-fr and myspell-fr-gut
  - hunspell-en-us and myspell-en-us

* I would have expected http_proxy to be propagated to /etc/environment, not just to apt.conf
  (although for a laptop it is probably better not to do that)

Those seem to be problems of the package versions on install CD, but fixed in current wheezy:

* no extended package descriptions are downloaded by apt on first update after install,
  only on second update

* aptitude with french l10n does not translate "yes/no" to "oui/non" in confirmation dialogs,
  but does it only accepts "o" instead of "y" (not any more after upgrade ?)

Hi,

thank you for submitting installation reports, much appreciated.

I read through all the bugs mentioned here (and I'm sure they were read by 
several people at the time they were submitted) and am closing them now as/if
- they (finally) indicated success and/or
- I know from first hand experience that the functionality is working in 
Wheezy and/or
- they only contained very little information and/or
- they contained user errors and/or
- they were caused by broken hardware and/or
- they have been from a development phase where things were not stable and/or
- they are quite old (and thus likely fixed today) and/or
- moreinfo was asked and not given or
- they are wishlist but rather special + exotic and not have been acted on for 
years. (See http://blog.liw.fi/posts/wishlist-bugs/ why it's often useful to 
close wishlist bugs.)

If I've closed a bug incorrectly please do reply (it's easy to reopen and I'll 
do if requested) or just file a new one - thats often better, as the bug log 
will be clearer and shorter and not contain cruft.


cheers,
        Holger
