That warning sounds good, but perhaps it should be there whether you are using eatmydata or not. I would not like to finish an interrupted partial installation too. > Could d-i verify that the installation was successfull and tell it to > the user? As others have said, doing that thing that eatmydata disables just at the end before d-i reports the end of the installation procedure, there should not be more risk using eatmydata than not using it. As this proposal sounds like a very good idea, and since it doesn't look to difficult to be done now, before the release of Debian 11, the Debian-Boot team should do this. What do we need to do to push this proposal to d-i for Debian 11? -- Santiago Pinto
