Yes, this needs to be solved, perhaps with an ugly hack, I don't know how. > Selecting 4, low. Selected the default "11.

I'm not sure what happened with these messages, but cdrom-detect is working now, so I hope we can forget this problem. > Why is the main menu text shown? Because cdrom-detect has not set its own debconf title. I'm not sure individual udebs should do that or whether we should have a generic title like "Debian GNU/Linux $(version) ..." I think the latter is better. > Is the CD called CDNAME? Seems so, that's strange. > Why do I have to hit enter to continue the install? Are you asking why the note is displayed, or why you have to hit enter for the note? The note is displayed because you're at priority low. The reason you have to press enter is that it's a debconf note, which are interactive by nature.

Can't be done with the progress bar implementation, I guess we could log it to tty3 though. > Selected default: "Detect network hardware and load kernel drivers for it" > Why does it go to detect all hardware now?

Because all the kernel modules can't possibly fit on the installation medium. :) We have to do the hardware detection/module loading in two steps. > > Hmm, why was the first prompt ">" and the second "[default = ]>"... > Probably because I selected null, but I don't think it'd be desirable to > set the same IRQ and IO settings for other devices.

The program segfaults, who knows where segfault exitcodes come from?
