Package: installation-reports Boot method: CD
Image version: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily- builds/daily/arch-latest/i386/iso-cd/debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso 07-Jan-2009 UPDATE: (i.e. what I forgot to report previously) 1. When attempting to install GRUB from the above Image Version (after the Linux-image failed to install), I noticed that GRUB only detected the Windows 98 partition but not the MS-DOS partition. GRUB with the Etch installer correctely identified both partitions. 2. After reporting this "bug" with the above Image Version, I realized that the installer was from 'sid'. So I downloaded the Lenny-Testing-i386-KDE weekly image of 05-Jan-2009 to try again. The exact same problems previously reported occurred with this CD image, as with all other Lenny installs previously attempted. 3. After several more attempts of installing Lenny, I reinstalled Etch r5 without any problems (other than the partitioner incorrectly identifying the partition numbers - as previously reported). For both Etch and Lenny installs, I've used the text-based 'expert' option. 4. Even though I have spent several days configuring Etch, I would still prefer to install Lenny - somehow - or upgrade from Etch to Lenny - somehow - to get the newer features. If installing Lenny means wiping out Etch to try any installer fixes that are made, I would be willing to do that. If no installer fixes are going to be attempted to address the issues I reported, I would appreciate knowing so that I can attempt an upgrade to Lenny. Thank you for your consideration. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
