two surprises from testing install
I just succeeded in installing today's version of testing and found two
surprises. Maybe these should be separate posts. Anyway, here they are:
1. /etc/apt/sources.list, which is:
------------------------------
#
# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Wheezy_ - Official Snapshot i386 \
NETINST Binary-1 20110215-15:58]/ wheezy main
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main
deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main
------------------------------
Shouldn't this list "testing" or "wheezy" in it somewhere? As you see,
the CD was Wheezy. I watched the installation, and all the packages were
being requested from squeeze.
2. On booting, I was surprised to see that no gnome, gdm, xinit, or evolution
packages were there. Of all of these, I will only need xinit (for fvwm).
Still, I have used gnome for testing purposes and was surprised that it's
no longer part of the standard installation.
Thanks.
