Does Debian-Installer change over time?
On a couple of i-386 test machines I am noticing install problems that
appear to change over time. I use floppies, and therefore download the
install package from a repository every time.
I know that if video card recognition works, then fail, then works
again, this has noting to do with D-I proper.
But what if (as since yesterday), the hardware recognition fails
immediately on two separate comps, no matter if I choose stable or
testing from the expert install script? A Slackware based distro just
recognised everything without any visible problems.
Is it something preternatural or does D-I actually change over time,
e.g. due to upstream drivers or components seeping in?
I have a sample set of install logs (290kB). If you wish, tell me what
to post.
TIA,
Filippo
