Package: installation-reports Severity: minor INSTALL REPORT
Debian-installer-version: test candidate 1 uname -a: machine isn't booted up right now, but it's running 2.6.6-k7 from sarge Date: 2004/6/5? +/- a couple days Method: booted netinst CD, net install from an up-to-date local mirror. Machine: Athlon T-bird 1200MHz, A7V133 rev 1.05 mobo, BIOS 1010beta. usb keyboard, ps/2 mouse. Root Device: 1 80GB IDE hard drive Root Size/partition table: 10GB root, rest is an LVM physical volume with logical volumes for swap, /home and /usr/local Output of lspci and lspci -n: not interesting, except for a Radeon 7200 video card. Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot worked: [O] Configure network HW: [O] Config network: [O] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [O] Create file systems: [O] Mount partitions: [O] Install base system: [O] Install boot loader: [O] Reboot: [O] Comments/Problems: LVM install with linux26 kernel worked great. I was really impressed that it all worked :) I'm glad cfdisk is included, so you don't have to use those menus to partition the disk. I love that the installer knows about LVM. nice job :) udhcpc from a late-May daily build failed, but dhclient in this release worked. :) I don't remember if this was while the installer was running, or only after the reboot, but the dialog boxes looked funny. Instead of being surrounded by lines, the boundary character looked like CE, but squished into one character. fb or vga font problem? In tasksel, the cursor flashes under task tickboxes even when I've tabbed to <Finish> or <Task Info>. This makes it non-obvious what's going to happen when you press return, but it's purely a cosmetic problem. In the mirror-selection, the option to enter a hostname should be more prominent. Maybe outside the list, as a separate button? After selecting a mirror, it should prompt you for another one, so you can get a non-US source too. (Or maybe it's best to keep things simple and avoid not-totally-necessary questions?) The problems in my previous report about typos and missing ipv6 /etc/hosts entries still apply to the test candidate 1. I won't repeat myself, so see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=253724 Configuring X wasn't much better this time. In fact it was worse, because I installed some font packages which apparently provided fonts that got used by default (e.g. by konqueror), but didn't have glyphs for all the characters. (I think '/' or '-' was missing). Things were ok after I removed ttf-dustin. I hate messing with fonts, so there's probably nothing wrong with dustin's fonts, just the way they were getting used... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
