It’s a harmless annoyance, but we should fix dmd to redirect the daemon’s standard output. > 3) I do see the process of installtion beeing from time to time > aborted due to "can not resolve hydra.gnu.org" (sorry the message is > not exact). What networking driver were you using? Normally, if dhclient works correctly and there’s no network issue, that shouldn’t happen. > 4) would be nice if installation image includes mouse (gpm) support - > I did not found and easy way to copy the content from installation > guide. Good idea, done in ae7ffa9. I set it to use the ‘ps2’ protocol, which apparently works for USB HID mice. I hope that’ll be fine. > 5) after default installation and reboot, grub loads the kernel, but > the boot ends with > "waiting for "root" device to appear" > erroring out as it can not be found. > This was caused by the label "root" missing on /dev/sda1 partition, > even thou it is specified in config.scm. Yeah, the root partition must be created with ‘mkfs.ext4 -L the-label’.

Is it WiFi or wired? Thanks a lot for your feedback. It’s insightful, as usual! Ludo’.
