Package: installation-report Severity: normal
Hi, I have installed debian (businesscard etch RC2) on a Samsung M40 plus laptop. A few glitches I detected: - detect network interfaces: I have a wired (with the cable plugged into computer) and wi-fi with WEP network. The computer has noth a wired and wireless interface. During detection, the installer shows eth0 as Ethernet ... and eth1 as Broadcom (4407 I think) ... (wi-fi). When I do DHCP on eth0 (wired), it receives no answer. When I do DHCP on eth1 (wi-fi), the DHCP server responds. However, because of the WEP is impossible that it has used wi-fi connection. Conclusion: the two interfaces are interchanged (the Ethernet is in fact the wi-fi and viceversa). - For any of the two interfaces it does not ask me about a WEP key. - TimeZone: I have chosen English/GB as language (at beginning of the installation) because I prefer to have English as language. So at TimeZone the installer proposed me UK/London, but I cannot change it to France/Paris. I propose to add a button such as "Change proposed TZ". - Upon installation of base system: at swsusp package I was asked "The swap is not active and suspend to ... is impossible. Continue without it?" What does yes and no buttons mean here? I choosed "No" but the installation has continued! - I chose to use sudo, and not to log in as root. Now, many applications in GNOME->Administrator menu (changing Date/Hour too) ask for root password. How can I start them from the menu if I do not know root password? - There is no menu in GNOME to suspend to RAM. How can I suspend to RAM (without executing "echo mem >/sys/power/state")? It is very useful for laptops! Sorry to not be more precise, but I provide more information if needed. Thank you for your work!
