This report is similar to the one I sent a few minutes ago but with some different test conditions.
I had today a new server to be installed and got some time for doing some tests regarding a "normal life" Debian installation. The purpose was doing a "standard desktop install" test and see what happens, how long it takes, how many times the user is prompted and so on. The machine is a Dell Poweredge 400SC (SCSI U320, single Intel Pro/100 Ethernet, 36Gb hard disk) I used the Debian Installer beta3 netinst CD. The Debian Installer part went smoothly with all defaults. Not one single glitch. The installation was done in french (after choosing French/France in first d-i screen). At the tasksel step (which is the default package installation system proposed), I have chosen the following tasks: -Graphical Environment -X-Window System -Office environment -Print server (the machine will be a file/print server) -Traditional Unix server -French environment The debconf screen table is shown below. For explanations, see my former mail about a "full" install. On this install, the noflushd problem didn't happen. So I did the whole install at "high" priority. Thus, the debconf screens count is exact. Package name Useful Useless Total fr-Translated Should use d-i console-data 0 1 1 1 exim4 2 0 2 2 2 gdm 1 0 1 1 popularity-cont.. 1 0 1 1 samba 1 0 1 1 xserver-xfree86 6 0 6 6 libssl0.9.7 0 1 1 1 TOTAL 11 2 13 13 A few conclusions: ------------------ 1) Very low debconf abuse The final count is thus 13 screens to which one should add about 15 for Debian Installer itself. 2) French translation is perfect..:-) Glitches and/or general overview -------------------------------- Same than former mail. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
