*** install-report.template Package: installation-reports INSTALL REPORT Debian-installer-version: 2003-09-16 uname -a: Linux localhost 2.4.21-5-386 #1 Sun Sep 21 14:15:10 CDT 2003 i686 GNU/Linux Date: 2003-09-21 Method: Booted and installed from sarge-i386-netinst.iso using link and HOWTO instructions posted to debian-devel-announce on 2003-09-15. Only snags were during partitioning stage. Tried autopartkit but I didn't like the scheme, one giant partition for my 40 GB IDE drive. Retried, this time using cfdisk, and once I figured out the correct argument for the disk name, it worked fine. Followed the rest of the HOWTO to get the base system setup, and then used dpkg get/set selections from another testing system to download rest of the packages.

Everything went smoothly. My only suggeston would be to add the argument for the correct disk to parition when using the cfdisk method in the HOWTO. For me that was: /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux badlands.philberts.invalid 2.4.22.092103 #1 Sun Sep 21 14:15:10 CDT 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-1 -- Larry Holish <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
