"partition hard drives" was skipped after the partitions had been found on the scsi-drive, while the ide-drive had no partitions at all (factory clean). - partition hard drives: i wonder about the use of "finish" and "cancel" (dunno exactly the english terms used here, since german was chosen as install language). "cancel" is somewhat the same like "prev" and "finish" is somewhat the same like "next" which already exist on the bottom of the page. - install boot loader: + for the translation team (german), there is an inconsistency: installation des bootloaders lilo... + also there should be an example what should be typed into the field in case some user does not want the boot sector to be installed in the mbr. people unfamiliar with devfs do not know what to type in, then. - booting new system: this somewhat failed. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: powerpc Kernel: Linux fuchi 2.6.1-ben1-mh2 #1 Wed Jan 14 16:57:43 CET 2004 ppc Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
