I considered it as critical as it prevents people from installing Debian. I was fortunately lucky by using the workaround but finding it wasn't easy. I was lucky because I could easily disable the second CD drive without uninstalling and opening the server. That's not the case when apt-setup selects by mistake the wrong built-in CD drive. It's also not the case when you do a remote installation via the virtual media capability of the KVM dongle and apt-setup selects in the middle of the installation by mistake the local CD drive as package source. It would not be such a big issue if you would be able to continue the installation by selecting an internet mirror as package source, but unfortunately the installer does not provide you that option anymore if it fails at detecting the CD/DVD :-( Thanks, Andi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
