Re: How to file bug for installation images that don't boot



Hi,

Tabor Kelly
> How do I report this bug?

In general, do what
  https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting
prescribes. If you do not have a running system with program "reportbug",
then scroll down to paragraph "Sending the bug report via e-mail".

Main decision to take is the name to be given with pseudo-header "Package:".
If a Debian installation ISO does not boot at all, then it is probably
"debian-cd".
If installation fails at an early stage, then possibly "debian-installer".
If you already know a particular package in the ISO as culprit, then
put that name into the "Package:" line.

The package name is not an immutable property of a bug. If the maintainers
decide that another package is in charge, then they will change the
package attribution.


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
