This was my test of a clean install on a system previously running woody so the disks were already partitioned. Given recent bugs with partitioning I didn't want to write anything to the partition table. There doesn't seem to be a clear way to "Leave the partitions alone but mount this one as /". It seemed as if "You didn't modify the partition table so you can't go on". Also what is with the little gremlin icon which appears next to swap in the partition menu? I chose grub and it didn't complain or give any error messages but on reboot it turned out it had chosen the first partition (ie swap) as the root. This is a problem. Now we get to the "post first boot setup" The cdrom is on hdd. Although the installer (and later gnome-auto-cd-mounter-thing) both found it, apt could not. It turns out that I don't have swap either. The reason for this seems to be that fstab was not populated and contains: # UNCONFIGURED FSTAB FOR BASE SYSTEM This leads to another problem vis the mount for / does not show up in either /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab Hence unmount on shutdown fails. Apart from that it seems good :-) Joel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
