Comments/Problems:
1) This is the first CD that has ever failed to boot on my system. It boote=
d a=20
laptop OK, but my system failed completely. I've installed a range of distr=
os=20
on this box - Potato, Woody r0, Woody r1, Slackware 8, 9, 9.1, Mandrake 8.1=
,=20
8.2, 9 without any problems booting. I had the first few Sarge unofficial C=
Ds=20
from the .hu mirror and the first of these booted fine. The boot device=20
selector floppy image on the installer CD solved the problem and I was able=
=20
to start the process from the CD after booting the floppy.
2) I suffered the IDE-SCSI module problem (which I hadn't seen at the time)=
=2E=20
As I had got a few of the unofficial Sarge CDs I intended to register them =
as=20
apt sources during the install, but this failed. Following the reboot it wa=
s=20
clear that this was down to the IDE CD not being mounted. I got round it by=
=20
simply removing the IDE-SCSI module and accessing the CD drive was was then=
=20
fine.
3) The network configure with dhcp wouldn't let me leave it unconfigured. I=
=20
have a separate Linux firewall connected by ethernet so my system is a stat=
ic=20
network with NAT on the firewall. I got around the installer throwing me ba=
ck=20
to the start of the dhcp config section by skipping ahead to network=20
configuration without dhcp and after this it was ok.
4) I tried to avoid LILO but it refused to let me. I didn't want to re-writ=
e=20
my mbr so put /dev/fd0 as the LILO target. It didn't like this for some=20
reason. I then skipped ahead to the GRUB section and set this to a floppy=20
which was OK.
5) My onboard VIA8233 sound chip has given quite a few Debian users a probl=
em=20
(as a quick google search will show), and the only real solution has been=20
installing ALSA and recompiling the kernel - no big deal, but inconvenient=
=20
compared to other distros which use ALSA and manage to get sound configured=
=20
in the initial install. It's encouraging that the new Debian Installer=20
managed to get sound working, although it uses the VIA 82cxxx module which=
=20
isn't correct (Knoppix will happily boot my machine and also gets sound=20
running on the VIA 82cxxx module) I haven't had a chance yet to really test=
=20
the sound capabilities, but it does seem fine - a great result for a Debian=
=20
installer.
Conclusion : I had several problems, and can't say I particularly liked the=
=20
installer. The hardware detection is certainly improved and is a very=20
positive aspect, but the way that a couple of specific steps tried to preve=
nt=20
me leaving them was a negative. I doubt that a newbie would have a happy ti=
me=20
with the installer on my box.
Suggestions : I'm surprised the network config is split into 2 sections, dh=
cp=20
and static. I would have thought that this would be 2 options in a single=20
section, maybe with dial-up as a further option as a lot of Debian users wi=
ll=20
have dial-up as their only network connection. I would also make a floppy a=
=20
prominent option for LILO or GRUB - if you already have a working system I=
=20
think it makes more sense to use a floppy for the first couple of boots=20
rather than overwriting the mbr during a new install.

- Fix SMP CPU detection. Patch from Thomas Poindessous. (Closes: #160658)
- Make sure to install /usr/share/discover/linuxrc with execute
bit set. (Closes: #152604)
* David Nusinow
- Conflicts with libdiscover2; Closes: #241840
- Translate hyphens to underscores in post-2.4 kernels in order to
properly detect if they are loaded already
- Use fantastic reworkings of init script to not require /usr to be
mounted, as well as allowing multiple modules to be listed on a single
skip line in discover.conf; Closes: #166460, #214622, #178944
