Debian-installer-version: manty netinst CD, built today Method: cd install in vmware
Machine: vmware Memory: 90 mb Root Device: 300 mb virtual scsi Base System Installation Checklist: Initial boot worked: [O] Configure network HW: [O] Config network: [E] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [O] Create file systems: [O] Mount partitions: [O] Install base system: [O] Install boot loader: [O] Reboot: [O] [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Comments/Problems: Well, this is a nice change -- it works again! I noticed that pcmcia-kernel-modules were installed, as hoped for, so pcmcia will probably work (this machine has no pcmcia though). It did not configure the network. netcfg is on the cd, but udeb_include is broken. I am working right now on fixing that (I broke it :-( ) It didn't prompt for a mirror, as one was not needed, so my interaction was limited to partitioning and hitting enter a few times. Slick! All the interesting stuff was after boot into the installed system. It still whines about /etc/mtab not existing, so my hack for that does not work. Something new: It loads the framebuffer again when booting the installed system. I hope this is only done if the initial install happened with framebuffer, and not always. Base-config 2.0 is on there, but it somehow got the debconf priority wrong so I saw the base-config menu. I stepped through the menu. The hostname was still localhost. I told apt-setup to use my cd, and it properly noticed it was a netinst CD, and defaulted to true when asking me if I wanted to add another apt source. Network was not available after reboot (see above), which is a problem, really. aptitude was installed, and was on base-config's list before dselect. Yay! Of course, there were no additional packages for me to install.. exim4 still has "(none)" as the mail name of the system. base-config completed ok. Overall, looks great, aside from the network setup problem. -- see shy jo
