I tested this image and could do a complete install using Ethernet with the resulting notes below. I did not try to install over wireless. 1) At boot there were some kernel I/O errors about /dev/sr0. 2) During the HD setup I had some warning dialogs. One about HPFS, and one about a PREP partition. I answered 'No' to both and continued. 3) I got a warning 'No installable kernel was found in the defined APT sources'. I answered 'Yes' (no install) and continued. 4) I needed to manually select to not install a bootloader. No yaboot.conf was installed, so I needed to create one manually. -Geoff -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
