--- Begin Message ---Package: debian-installer Version: 20121003 Severity: normal hi, i've set up a wheezy box for running virtual machines using libvirt, QEMU/KVM, virt-install, etc. i don't really like installing VMs using VGA-over-VNC, so i tried a serial console installation, like this: virt-install \ --name=mytestvm \ --ram=1024 \ --vcpus=1 \ --cpu host \ --disk pool=guest_images_lvm,size=32 \ --network bridge=br0 \ --graphics none \ --location http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/dists/wheezy/main/installer-amd64/ \ --extra-args="priority=low -- console=ttyS0,115200" i ran this over ssh, running in an 80x25 xfce4-terminal, value of TERM was "xterm", if that matters. some things i noticed: * pressing "end" on my keyboard didn't go to the end of a list of menu items, but instead acted as if i had selected "go back" (that is, as soon as i pressed "end", the previous menu screen was displayed). * normally on a long menu screen you can scroll down by pressing the down arrow key. this doesn't seem to work, and i couldn't manage to reach the (hidden) options on the "configure the package manager" screen where you can toggle sources.list entries for the security and volatile repositories. i've attached a screen shot of my terminal to show what this looks like. -- Robert Edmonds edmo...@debian.org<<attachment: configure_the_package_manager.png>>
