Package: debian-installer Version: snapshot 20080906-21:39 (newer than lenny beta 2)
Boot method: CD Image version: Debian GNU/Linux testing "Lenny" - Official Snapshot i386 NETINST Binary-1 20080906-21:39 Date: 2008-09-06 Problems: I have a system with an encrypted partition, inside which is an LVM physical volume containing two logical volumes. One volume contains my main system, running Etch. I wanted to test the latest debian-installer snapshot of Lenny by installing into the second logical volume. Unfortunately, d-i doesn't support this type of installation. It does not offer a way to activate an existing encrypted partition. I have another system with an LVM physical volume on a hard disk partition--no encryption. Again, it contains two logical volumes. On this system I had no problems: The partitioner saw the LVM volumes, and I was able to install testing "Lenny" in one of the existing volumes while keeping the other volume undisturbed. Nice. Adding this flexibility to the partitioner for encrypted partitions would make it easier for more people to use more different hardware for testing installations. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
