reassign 257794 os-prober retitle 257794 Does not detect a Fedora installation thanks
> Problems: > - Debian is listed twice: with/without kernel version > - Suse is listed twice > - Fedora not found As joeyh mentioned, more information will help. Anyway, I reassign this bug to the os detection package as this is the only problem which is directly related in d-i > 2.

It means that you They are minimized as much as possiblebut this is a general Debian design. I suggest you try "linux DEBCONF_PRIORITY=critical" which will make the number of questions, especially after the d-i 2nd stage very low.

But it still installs testing by default. You can choose which flavour to install by using "linux DEBCONF_PRIORITY=medium". -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
