Can you please try a newer image from http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sarge_d-i/ to see if these problems have been fixed?

Can you try to play around a bit with the new image and see if you can still break it? It should warn you about an existing system when you don't format the partition and there's a system on it already. > All in all, the installation was not possible at all on the thinkpad > without a cd drive.

Can you give the image at http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sarge_d-i/ a go? -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
