just tested for i386 on a laptop, doing just a base install. Used idepci tree disks set from ~aph/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/3.0.16-2001-10-24. Installing via pcmcia (xircom rbem56g-100, cardctl says cbm ) over my home net http-proxy. Booting/installing from floppy runs ok up to reboot. Sometimes (before and after first reboot) screen gets cluttered from messages like 'getty: usage ....', and message for 'INIT: Id "S" respawning too fast, wating 5 minutes' (these do not break lines well). Since reboot is done now, all further things should be relatet to packages, not boot-disks... After reboot and base config i selectet task-laptop and task-german. Problem occures with a frozen console sreen after a while of download and installing of missing packages (auto-selected from base-config rsp. tasksel). Screen shows up some red or blue colored cursor boxes, not blinking, between cluttering msg, as descibed above. Hitting <CTRL>c brings up a 'Configuring Locales' dialog. While writing this, screen cluttering msgs from above write over this dialog again. Moving around with cursor keys only update selection list area from config dialog, hitting <TAB> let's you find <OK>, next screen is ok again. Kernel-NFS complains about rpc.mountd instead of mountd configured in /etc/inetd.conf. On a brand new system this should not happen. > The most critical thing that we need feedback on is busybox/powerpc > issues. Now, since my home proxy is tested well :) i'll give my prep-ppc a chance these days. I hope to be able to give a report 'till Friday. > Please reply to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
