However, > all of the modules seemed to load. Hrrrm. This means that there was a more recent rootskel package on the CD than on the boot medium. That's very strange. Anyway, a more recent version of anna shouldn't try to install special packages like rootskel at all, so this is fixed. > (2) The installer seemed to go well from that point, too, except that I had to > choose menu items 13, 14, and 15 instead of 12.

Er! partconf should just try to modprobe some interesting modules (like raid, lvm, filesystems...) it should not fail because they are missing! Probably something else was broken, but I haven't seen this happen at all, so I'm kinda stumped... > Using the alternative "Partition harddrive", > "Create filesystems", and "Mount partitions" (I'm not sure of those names - > didn't write them down) worked great. (/boot is ext2, the others are ext3). OK. They're being deprecated in favour of partconf though, so it would be nice to know partconf is working... :) > (CD install only: ) Early on, I selected to install sid rather than sarge. > When I got to the point of installing the base-system from CD, it failed > because there was no /dists/sid available on the CD - only dists/unstable. > Adding that symlink for the CDs shouldn't be too hard. Well, sarge is what's on the CD. It's just traditional to have stable/unstable/testing symlinks. I guess choose-mirror could somehow try to figure out which dists are available. Though wait a second, you shouldn't even have to run choose-mirror on a CD install! :) That can break a lot, I think... > I could not install the base-system.

Thank *you* for testing it! :) /Martin -- Martin Sjögren sjogren@debian.org -- marvin@dum.chalmers.se GPG key: http://www.mdstud.chalmers.se/~md9ms/gpg.html let hello = "hello" : hello in putStr (unlines hello)
