Editing the fstab (with a tool, or if the user wishes, directly), including swap may be the way... Then mounting the partitions and swap using it. The problem would be devfs (for the installer) vs non-devfs (once the system has reboot) Just an idea... > > * Having finally got a sarge installed, rebooting... > > > > (btw, i needed to umount -a; reboot by hand since choice 11 did't want to do > > that until i installed a bootloader, which i didn't want.) > > Yeah, we need a more flexible way for skipping steps. It also seemed than when the installation crashes at some point (it happened to me a few times, giving a message like "postinst exited with status nnn"), the menu system is messing up with what has/hasn't been done yet. Well, i didn't pay too much attention, i don't remember exactly what happened. > Well, the generated /target/etc/fstab doesn't use devfs, so if you try > to boot a kernel with devfs, you're going to have problems, yes... I suppose this isn't an install-related thing, but why debian hasn't moved to devfs by default ? It's great and it seems it's getting stable (i use it for a while and never experienced any problem, apart from programs looking for unexisting things while not running devfsd...) > > - The generated /etc/network/interfaces was wrong, using dhcp method instead > > of static. > > What do you mean?

Despite the current maturity, debian-installer seems really promising. -- Jeremie Koenig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
