Package: debian-installer Version: N/A; reported 2004-01-31 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
I tried yesterday's latest (thx joeyh) debian-installer images. After circumventing a few (more or less) known bugs, I finally was very upset to see that... the installation was finished! debian-installer wiped out my Master Boot Record _without even noticing me_! I find this totally unacceptable. Is this Windows or what? I can understand that this is a beta version, that designing the "right" user interface is full of complex trade-offs, blablabla, but come on, ANY other user interface before destroying the MBR is better than none. Generally speaking, I find the new design of the installer very nice: I like the idea of being able to go back and forth between "clever" and "manual" modes. But please, just ask confirmation (just provide a "back" button) before doing anything "clever", at the very least in the MBR case. -- System Information Irrelevant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
