Its not noise. However, check out the installation manual. It tells you how to submit an installation report via the BTS with email to bugs.debian.org to the (I think) installation-reports psudo-package. The 'maintainer' for the reports is the debian-boot team who write the installer. I would suggest that you subscribe to debian-boot, follow the instructions in the manual and submit an installation report. Since they know how the installer works, they can be of more specific help. They certainly were when I was in your shoes 8 months ago. Good luck, Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
