Bug#221602: grub-installer: Should enable serial console on serial line installs

[Christian Perrier]

Quoting Petter Reinholdtsen ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
> 
> 
> Here are some suggestions for debconf templates to use to store info
> on the console type:

Rewrite proposal according to general style used in d-i and DTSG (now
linked on the Developer's Corner) aka Debconf Templates Style Guide.

Template: debian-installer/framebuffer
Type: boolean
Default: true
Description: Should frame buffer be enabled at boot for the console?

Template: debian-installer/console/type
Type: string
Default: framebuffer
Default[s390]: serial
Description: Console type:
 Please enter the type of the console which will be used during the
 installation. This value is used to set the environment variable TERM_TYPE.
 .
 The "framebuffer" choice is meant for machines with some video
 hardware and a keyboard. The "serial" choice may be used for systems
 without console hardware.  Other choices such as "telnet" or "ssh"
 may be used to avoid the need for serial cables.

BTW, why not a Select template here ? The list of choices seems
somewhat limited.


Template: debian-installer/console/protocol
Type: string
Default: linux
Default[s390]: dumb
Description: Terminal protocol:
 Please enter the protocol type for the console. This value is used to
 set the environment variable TERM.
 .
 Some commonly used protocols are:
 .
  dumb  - no protocol, ASCII only
  vt100 - VT100-compatible terminal
  linux - Linux virtual console

Here also, a Select type may be better?

Template: debian-installer/console/serial/device
Type: string
Default: ttyS0
Description: Serial console device name:
 Please enter the name of the device (in /dev/) for the serial console.

Template: debian-installer/console/serial/speed
Type: string
Default: 9600
Description: Serial console speed:
 Please enter the speed of the serial console, in bits per second (bps).

Template: debian-installer/console/serial/character
Type: string
Default: 8N1
Description: Databits, parity and stopbits for the serial console:
 Please enter the value for databits (usually 7 or 8), parity (N for
 no parity, O for odd parity, E for even parity) and the number of
 stop bits (usually 0 or 1) for the serial console.

Bug#253408: debian-installer: Can not use fdisk /dev/hda in command line interface

[Tetralet]

Package: debian-installer
Severity: minor

I use sarge-i386 cd as the rescue cd.
I find that we can not partition disk just using 'fdisk /dev/hda'.
We should use 'fdisk /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disk' instead.
It is a little too lengthy.

Today I just gave it a try with root=/dev/hda1 instead of 
root=/dev/rd/0.

This gave me the following output (thank you, minicom...):

World Domination 102: Bi-di text support in d-i

[Steve Langasek]

Hello world!

Although the progress we made on this task during DebConf4 itself was in
some ways a bit disappointing, I'm happy to report that we now have
preliminary packages of slang with support for bi-directional text
(Hebrew & Arabic) and font shaping (Arabic).  For some beautiful
screenshots, see
 (still
with a few bugs) and
.

This means it's time to start discussing how to integrate this work into
d-i.  The patches to slang are available at 
 as well, and have been
filed as a patch in bug #252956, but before a bidi-enabled package can
be uploaded to the archive, we need to be prepared to handle it in d-i.
The new slang package depends on libfribidi0.  On x86, this means an
additional 52k of space used for this added library, which must be part
of the initrd because it's used from the very beginning of the install.
Do we have this much space available on all of our initrd images?  (Can
someone tell me which images are tightest on space?)

If we don't have 52k to spare, there are two possibilities.  First, we
can try to do library reduction on libfribidi0.  This can potentially
get us down to 32k.  Second, since the interface is simple enough and
libslang already depends on libdl, we could have libslang dlopen()
libfribidi, so that its presence in the initrd is optional.  In the
second case, we wouldn't get the space savings of library reduction on
those images that do include bidi support, but it would mean it could be
omitted from any images that are tight on space.

If library reduction is the best option, I'll work on preparing a patch
to the fribidi package to implement the needed -pic package.  (We'll
also need libfribidi.so.0 to move from /usr/lib to /lib eventually, so
that /lib is self-contained, so I'll plan to address both of these at
the same time.)  If not, I'll update the slang patches to use dlopen()
instead.

Once the above decisions are sorted out, we need to arrange for the d-i
daily builds to remain buildable while the necessary udebs are updated
on all architectures.  Currently, it seems that to build d-i with bidi
support both slang1a-utf8-udeb and libfribidi0-udeb need to be added to
the packages list (pkg-lists/base).  I believe this is because the
slang1a udeb doesn't match the system slang library, so without
unpacking these in the build tree, mklibs isn't able to find all the
library dependencies it needs ("No library provides non-weak
fribidi_log2vis").  So this change must take place before any
bidi-enabled slang udebs are uploaded to the archive.

Even with these udebs pulled in, there still seems to be a lib reduction
problem with libfribidi (using a local test libfribidi-pic): the library
correctly reduces, and then the original full-sized lib is used.  I'd
appreciate it if someone who knows mklibs could help me figure this out.

Finally, once all of this is done, I've also gotten approval from the
debootstrap maintainer to NMU for bug #253229.  Adding libfribidi0 to
the package list for debootstrap now will make it possible to add bidi
support to the main libslang package after d-i rc2 releases, which means
we should be able to get full bidi support for debconf into sarge (even
if it just means sneaking it into a gap between rc2 and the final
release ;).

Comments are welcome, particularly if anyone sees something here that
I've overlooked.

Thanks,

Bug#253418: Installation report

[Gabriel Kerneis]

Package: installation-reports
Debian-installer-version: Test Candidate 1 (downloaded from 
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/)
uname -a: Sorry, I can't do this right now.
Date: June 6th, 2004
Method: Boot off CD-ROM from BIOS

Machine: HP Vectra (barebone)
Processor: Intel 733 MHz
Memory: 256 Mb
Root Device: IDE
Root Size/partition table: There were 2 windows partitions that i 
deleted. I let the installer do it and it worked great.
Output of lspci: Sorry, I can't do this right now.

Base System Installation Checklist:

Comments/Problems:
I used the french translation which is quite good, except one sentence 
remained untranslated, in the GRUB step i think.
The installer detected my network cards but i don't know whether the 
dhcp works since my computer isn't connected to the network yet.
I got an error message when i tried to use LVM at the partition step. It 
seemed to be impossible for the partitions wasn't created or something 
like that but he asked just before whether i wanted to create the 
partitions... Anyway i don't reallly neeed LVM but i wanted to try it.
Besides, the letter like "è" or "é" were well handed during the 
installation. Sadly, after the first reboot, they became completely 
wrong ("ô" instead of "é", and other things like this). My locales are 
correct ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) so i wonder what went wrong. I'll try to fix when i 
have updated my system.
Apart from this, I found the whole process very easy, it took me less 
than an hour for downloading, burning and installing the base system. I 
didn't expect it and i'm very pleased with it.

Thanks a lot, good work guys.

Comments/Problems:

as mentioned above there should be a device /dev/ataraid to partition as the 2 IDE 
Drives are mirrored by the inbuild promise fasttrack ide-raid controller. former 
debian woody installer 
gives /dev/ataraid first and then /dev/hde and /dev/hdg to be partitioned. TC1 has 
only /dev/hde and /dev/hdg to choose
so it's impossible to setup debian on the mirrored raid with the new installer.

don't know if it's easy to fix but for me it seems like either there is a driver 
"misconfiguration" or 
there is just an option loose in the debian installer.

good luck in fixing these ... as the Primergy and Promise are widespread i think this 
is a critical bug 
for server installation in companys like here (University)

Bug#253445: german translation error in countrychooser

[Holger Levsen]

package: countrychooser

Hi,

when using todays build of the root.img found at 
http://people.debian.org/~luther/debian-installer/daily-powerpc-built/current/powerpc-small/floppy/

in "Choose country or area" (Land oder Gebiet wählen) there is a little error 
in the german sentence "Ihrer Sprache nach befinden Sie sich wahrscheinlich 
in einem dieser Länder oder Gebieten."

Correct is "Ihrer Sprache nach befinden Sie sich wahrscheinlich in einem 
dieser Länder oder Gebiete." (without the last "n")

btw, is this a good way to report translation errors or is there a better way 
? 


regards,
holger

The stats.txt in the daily build dir is supposed to tell us this kinda
thing. I've just corrected some innacuracies for images without kernels,
like the root floppy, so the numbers will be accurate for those after
today's builds. I don't know about non-i386, but for i386 we have 37k
free on the root floppy.

I think library reduction would be good, since 20k is a rather large
gain all around. However, being able to drop libfribidi from the root
floppy entirely is certianly better, especilly if we end up splitting
off arabic to its own floppy to save space.

Try booting with devfs=nomount.  This issue looks like the kernel is 
mounting devfs, but there's no devfs daemon to make the "normal 
looking" device symlinks.

Looking back through the logs, I see this:

and this:

which means you've got devfs compiled in (and probably being mounted) 
but no indicator that devfsd is starting.

That is the kind of thing that can easily expose problems, and take
about a month to settle down. By which time there will be a new upstream
kernel..

I don't think any of these are release critical. The 2.6 stuff is still
basically experimental, but if you do think that is RC, you should make
bug #251861 release critical. The rest seems minor.

This has been fixed in more recent versions of busybox-cvs-udeb, which

I know people who use CJK or some other languages need special
terminal for their languages, and understand what you say.

But, I prefer setting LANG for their own language as default
(/etc/environment) rather than LANG=C.
It is really painful to force users to set LANG by themselves.
Generally, I believe users will use X Window System or remote shell,
won't use raw console.

If I'm asked 'which do you prefer', I choose local LANG although raw
console has a problem.

It would be good that users can continue to use i18n console terminal
such as jfbterm or bterm after 2nd stage... but unfortunately we can't
launch X Window System as user level from its terminal by security
reason.

One of my simple idea is to define LANG=C for only 'root' shell
configuration, and /etc/environment is preserved as local LANG.
Message localization is not so important for administration, and
sometimes message localization on root account causes a problem such
as this report.

Thanks,

When using English, then USA, the 2nd-stage screens still don't have

This is the best idea so far, provided it works.  Anyone see any problem
with it

If not, should the installer therefore write the initial /etc/hosts file
as follows?

If the machine lacks a static IP address and domain name:

127.0.0.1   localhost.localdomain   localhost
127.0.1.1   pingo

If the machine has static IP address 10.1.2.3:

127.0.0.1   localhost.localdomain   localhost
10.1.2.3pingo

If the machine has static IP address 10.1.2.3 and domain name
'pingodom':

127.0.0.1   localhost.localdomain   localhost
10.1.2.3pingo.pingodom  pingo

Eh, none of the templates are intended for the user.  They are planned

Rethinking about it, I admit that it makes sense

It seems that base-installer finds the root partition by the rather
broken method of doing a "df /target". I assume that you have a large
root partition, of more than 100 gb in size, and probably the df
output does not add whitespace between the partition name and the size
in this case. Can you show the output of the df /target command to
verify this?

If so, you may have not seen it in other installs if you partitioned the
disk differently.

With the initrd from SVN (as far as the packages are there), installing
unstable.

tc1 needs about 17 MB Memory before swap can be activated, normal
are ~10.

I used the 2.4.26 Kernel for several test installs, it is in unstable
and testing for a while now, and I haven't heard of any problems which
could be installer-related. The installer-visible change is that the
swarm kernel has its socket module now built in.

> By which time there will be a new upstream kernel..

For a release, we _have_ to sync the kernel versions, otherwise the
security team will collectively get nuts. If we want to settle with
an older version than newest upstream for release, we have to make
sure the new kernel won't propagate to testing.

Justification: renders package unusable

Because of recent changes in languagechooser, the lowmem package now
improperly sets languagechooser/language-name. This causes the program to
loop indefinitely as reported by Thiemo Seufer:

The attached *untested* patch should solve this...or at least you get the

Bug#253470: di-rep: i386 netboot 20040607

[Geert Stappers]

Package: installation-reports

Debian-installer-version: http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/images/20040607/netboot/
a network boot using http://etherboot.org for the boot software at client side.
Used unstable from http://ftp.nl.debian.org for packages.

I used a daily image because beta4 netboot image for i386 did not
detect any IDE devices.

Two attempts with 20040608 images failed in kernels oopses.

Attempts with 20040607 had also OOPSES at several places,
but did bring me to debian base system install.

However that showed, at console 1:

  [!!] Install the base system
 Base system installation error
 The debootstrap program exited with an error (return value 1).

 Check /var/log/messages or see virtual console 3 for the details.


  


At /var/log/messages and console 3 there was:

dpkg: depndency problems prevent configuration of console-tools:
 console-tools depends on console-common; however:
  Package console-common is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing console-tools (--configure):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 console-data
 console-common
 base-config
 console-tools
umount: /target/dev/pts: Invalid argument
umount: /target/dev/shm: Invalid argument
umount: /target/proc/bus/usb: Invalid argument


Then an other base install in the unclean target, reported

ln: /target/usr/bin/awk: File exists
(I have seen E-mails about it before, dunno current state)
I did manual remove that link and give it an other try


The third attempt of base install failed also.


Back into the main menu and selecting
a bootloader triggered an other base install :-(



So this is a report of an unsuccesfull netboot install on i386.

Please let me known when I can give it an other try.


Cheers
Geert Stappers

Please give more information about the way you partitioned the
disk. Did you use "Guided partitioning" ar did you made a manual
partitioning ?

Indeed, I currently get the proper partition type afger doing a
"guided" (automatic) partitioning with everything in one partition.

This may be true in general; it is definitely not true for S390; almost
everyone will use the console, although that will generally be a tn3270
connection rather than the hardware console or an actual attached 3270
tube.

The 3270 must be treated as a dumb terminal; it does not understand ANSI
escape sequences, for instance, and operates in line, rather than
character, mode.

Same here with fr_FR choices on the sid_d-i 20040608 netinst ISO.

So, it seems this is a general problem.

I suspect the /etc/console-toos/config changes to be the culprits here

I don't very much like the l[astname] part.
That will make for very strange defaults for people who use a middle initial 
or have something like 'van' or 'di' between their first and last names.
Example: Goswin von Brederlow => goswinv ??

Personally, I always use 'fjp' (my initials), so I find myself backspacing any 
default that's offered (I'm not asking for a change though ;-).

It already *is* a usable IP. lo is 127/8.

Where does 127.0.1.1 fit in to the whole "hostname of system must
resolve into a usable IP" thing? should we have an alias for the lo
device that sets up 127.0.1.1? It sounds like a gross hack.

wrote:

Can you boot debian-installer and manually load the module with:
  modprobe sata_promise
Does debian-installer then see your disk?
d-i 30.05.2004 netinstall.
yes, I can 'modprobe sata_promise' in console 2 (alt-F2).
debian-installer sees the sata disk as /dev/sda.
Initially I had problems to install on this disk.
# configuring 'base-installer' failed with error code 1
last line in console 3 (alt-F3) was
setting up initrd-tools(0.1.69)
I got this error 3 times, reproducibly.
I switched the BIOS setting of the sata-controller
'onbord ATA device first' from "yes" to "no"
Then I entered the Promise Fast-Track setup during boot (ctrl-F)
and deleted the sata array and created a new one
(0+1 striping array - I have only one sata disk).
Now it works.
I switched 'onboard ATA device first' back from "no" to "yes"
because I didn't see any changes. It still works.
Maybe the Fast-track setup was the key ?!
I tried the following configurations and successfully installed Debian-base
-
dev/sda1 /
-
/dev/hda1 swap
/dev/hda2 /boot
/dev/hda3 /tmp
/dev/hda4 /var
/dev/hdb1 /home
/dev/sda1 /
-
/dev/hda1 /usr
/dev/hdb1 /home
/dev/sda1 /boot
/dev/sda2 /
-
I tried ext2, ext3, reiserfs.
Is there anything special I should test concerning SATA?
Otherwise I would put back the SATA disk into my P4P800.
If you need feedback, I could test sata in the P4P800 too.
Which module should I load for the ICH5R ?
The debain-installer does not see the sata disk automatically.
=
From my scan through newsgroups etc. I got the impression
that sata uses ide commands rather than scsi commands,
with some scsi-like extensions to the ide set,
which are going to be implemented
but are not yet fully supported by sata controllers.
Consequently, I suppose that /dev/sda needs a scsi->ide translation
and /dev/hde should be the better choice.
- Am I completely wrong here?
- How would I address the sata disk (connected to a ICH5R) as /dev/hde?
=
Can you paste the output of
  lspci
  lspci -n
Don't know if you still need the lspci from the P4PE.
Anyway, here it is.
btw: there is no lspci in the busybox.
This is the output from the installed debain.

retitle 238648 SATA controller not found

At a first glance, this sounds like a discover problem.  If anything
in this mail is important in d-i, please reassign it back.

Bug#253445: german translation error in countrychooser

Quoting Holger Levsen ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):

Unless you know who is the translator (in that case, seppy), reporting
it as a bug is appropriate. A bug report is the only thing that is
tracked after all.

If you know who is the translator, then also file a bug, but put
"X-debbugs-CC" to this translator. This will lower the chances (s)he
misses this bug.

I am not aware that the hostname of the system must resolve into
something usable.  I am only aware that sudo prints an error 
message (which may be harmless) if the hostname isn't resolvable
at all.

I am not sure that that is necessary.  It seems that one can connect
to 127.0.1.1 without further ado.  I have dnsmasq running, for example,
and it answers queries made to 127.0.1.1.

$ host www.matrox.com 127.0.1.1
Using domain server:
Name: 127.0.1.1
Address: 127.0.1.1#53
Aliases:

www.matrox.com has address 138.11.241.200

I wouldn't expect this to work given my routing table:

$ sudo route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination  GatewayGenmask Flags Metric RefUse Iface
192.168.0.0  *  255.255.255.0   U 0  00 wlanp_0

But it does.

didn't load the installed. It hung at 93% "Starting PC card services...".

Bug#253404: debian-installer: The default locale should be seted to "POSIX" after installation

[Christian Perrier]

> Message localization is not so important for administration, and

I slightly object to that specific sentence. Thinking that system
administration should be reserved to people able to read and
understand English narrows the potential target we have.

Of course, there are a lot of issues with localized root account
especially with non Latin-1 languages (with ISO-8859-1 languages, there
is nearly no issue at all.all my machines are french localized
even for the root acount), but I think we have to make our best for
making it possible.

Just throwing away the problem by just mentioning that "everyone uses
English for system administration" is far too restrictive and
geek-minded. I know lot of very good Unix system administrators who
don't speak English at all and have high difficulties in reading and
understanding English other than very basic.

This is of course not directed to you, Kenshi, as I know this is not
the way you think. This is more directed to several of my fellow geek
Debianers I already read here and there with that kind of presomptuous
affirmation...:-)  (horrible English around)

I'm pretty sure other programs in d-i use df in this way too; so they

  As for the wishlist:D: installation would be much nicer through a

former installer of stable had a /dev/ataraid (which i use on this
machine) the ataraid is prepared from BIOS (RAID bus controller: Promise

Comments/Problems:

as mentioned above there should be a device /dev/ataraid to partition as
the 2 IDE Drives are mirrored by the inbuild promise fasttrack ide-raid
controller. former debian woody installer gives /dev/ataraid first and
then /dev/hde and /dev/hdg to be partitioned. TC1 has only /dev/hde and
/dev/hdg to chooseso it's impossible to setup debian on the mirrored
raid with the new installer.

1) it is possible to load ataraid and pdcraid manually but installation
stops at 
/usr/sbin/mkinitrd: device /dev/ataraid/c0d0p1 is not a block device 
Failed to create initrd image.
but i think that should be another bug-report 

don't know if it's easy to fix but for me it seems like either there is
a driver "misconfiguration" or 
there is just an option loose in the debian installer.

good luck in fixing these ... as the Primergy and Promise are widespread
i think this is a critical bug 
for server installation in companys like here (University)

I can ping 127.0.1.1 using Linux 2.4.25 too.

My local dnsmasq nameserver answers "host" queries at 127.0.1.1.
I can ssh and telnet to 127.0.1.1.

Sorry for the late but after few hours i downloaded the woody netboot iso images and i installed and after upgraded to sarge And i change my job so i unsubscribed from the list... Maybe with my home address i will subscribe again. 

Now, i know what was the solution my problem. The lspci was OK the raid controller was enabled by BIOS and i saw in the lspci's output the controller... But when i tried to load manually (modprobe hptraid) the module i got the 'no such device' message. Now i boot with my own compiled kernel (2.4.26) and it contains builtin the HPT37xx ide driver and the hpt raid driver also... And as i can see in the /proc i can see the hpt366 device name (the name of the ide device driver). So my problem was just the module dependencies. The hptraid module needs the hpt366 ide driver!

So what happens if you load the hpt366 module and then the hptraid
module when you use the standard Debian kernel?

Could you try using testing, and tell us what happened?

It seems to me that the problems you experienced might be due to a
problem in unstable.

Love,

Yes, I commited it a few seconds ago. Now the debconf-translation and
the program translation (already commited by Christian Perrier) are in
SVN.

Yes, but we are currently preparing for another beta (actually, the
first release candiate), so testing of "testing" is better... however,
feel free to also test "unstable" and report issues there.

I think daily floppy images are available at
http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/installer-i386/current/images/ but
I'm not sure everything you'll need is there.

I'm not sure how much we put on a CD, but you raise a good point.  We
should check this.

Bug#252551: other possible tests

[Jack Carroll]

I've posted my latest results under the bug number above, and
supplied some additional information requested by Christian Perrier.
Maybe you can suggest a direction for further tests.
I noticed that after I booted from the floppies and configured a
network interface, it downloaded a large collection of installer components. 
I selected the "testing" branch.  If I had selected "unstable", would it
have downloaded a more recent version of the installer as well as a more
recent set of packages to install?
If so, would it help the project if I did that and reported?
I don't see a place to get daily builds of the floppies themselves,
or I'd give that a go.
I've been a bit reluctant to burn CDs, for a couple of reasons. 
Libranet has recently started packing more bytes on a CD than machine #1's
older drive can read (not to mention my other older machine, an all-SCSI
486), and I'm not sure but what Debian may have also broken the boundaries
of the generic CD format that all drives can read.  It's also a long job to
download a set of images, and I use up disks each time, because these older
drives don't read CD-RWs.  And I need floppies anyway, because the SCSI CD
drives aren't bootable.  So booting from floppies into a network install is
perfect for my older server boxes.  (At some point, I'll probably read up on
creating a local Debian mirror to cut down on downloading.)
Obviously, I don't have much of an understanding of the inner
workings of the installer, though I have done a manual network cross-install
under Gentoo on machine #2, and might try a Debian cross-install.
So what do you think?  What should I test further?

Thanks. Corrected in SVN.

the only thing I can add to Christian is that a severity "minor" would
be cool. :)
But I think, on single spelling-mistakes, a mail to the translator would
be enough - and if he does not reply, you can then file the bug.

Well, I'm going to need more detail than that to fix it in sarge, since
I can't just copy everything from unstable into testing. Can you narrow

Yes, it's epidemic in the boot loader installers:

Kernel oopses are of course either a kernel problem or a hardware

which is it, kernel or hardware? Get that oops decoder out..

ssh support

[Bastian Blank]

Some thinkings about ssh support:

* Without possibility to go back in case of trouble:
  - generate config/keys
  - debconf: "stop" (needs to be implemented)
  - start sshd
  - display it's own message
* With possibility to go back:
  - generate config/keys
  - debconf: close db files and mark db as readonly
  - start sshd
  - debconf: display message
  - if user ask to abort:
- kill sshd
- debconf: reopen db

OK. What size difference is there? It won't be huge (a few bytes per
directory), but I'd expect it to be noticeable, especially on the
businesscard image where we're short of space.

Tasksel does not update user choice

[Ivan Savov]

Hello,

Full props for the debian installer. Quality install today on my friends
PC without much trouble. I was using verion "Under Testing" not the Beta4.

One thing though. After making the initial choice of the packages with
tasksel I was skared by the size of the downloads so I cancelled the
download with CTL+C.

Then I went back to tasksel option in the meny and selected fewer 'tasks'
so that I would have less things to pull. Unfortnately the next step was
unaffected by my NEW choices and it had kept the old choice.

I think when entering the tasksel part of the install the installer should
check for previously selected tasks and delete them so that users can
change their choice.

Also a size estimate of how much space each task in tasksel takes could be
useful but that should be classified as wishlist.

Yours,
 Ivan

PS:  On the same machine I was installing XP minutes earlier and we had
lots of trouble getting it to run with this keyboard.
http://www.logitech.com/lang/images/0/2487.jpg
I think that is a good sign that the debian installer is TOP NOTCH!
