OK. So, Luk, this is the final proposal we come up with: The root user should not have an empty password.

Apparently and if I understand correctly, youhad to use ndiswrapper to make it work (ie use the Windows driver). Maybe this is what OpenSUSE is doing, which is fine for them, but definitely non free...:-) Most wireless cards require non-free firmware to properly work, which makes their setup slightly uneasy when the distribution vendor is picky about freeness. That may be the case with yoursor not...I can't really check. Anyway, given that your installation was a complete success, I do as usual with reports for successful installations: I close the bug..:-) This does not of course mean you weren't right to report.

Customized scripts in Debian Installer
Dear friends of debian-boot, I am reading Debian installer documentation in order to know how to execute customized scripts during Debian installation process. I found that it is possible to build an udeb package and include it in Debian installer using udeb_include file in my customized Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 CD. I also read that it is possible to execute scripts if udeb package place them in /usr/lib/finish-install.d directory (with an appropiate name). Well, my script runs some commands but one of them needs an user input, like a password from the user, for example: cryptsetup -y create private /dev/sda5 This command ask the user for a password, so I would like to know whether Debian installer is going to permit the user entering the password (prompt) or I have to to do something. Another questions is: which is the best practice to run customized scripts: putting commands in postinst file or a file inside /usr/lib/finish-install.d directory? Could anyone please help me?

Bug#525946: hw-detect: snd-powermac not added to /etc/modules
Package: hw-detect Severity: normal I recently installed Debian lenny on my ibook G4 (powerpc). Please refer installation report in bug #525902. After the installation was complete and I booted into Debian, I found out that sound was not working. The problem is that snd-powermac module is not loaded by default because it is not in /etc/modules. So either the sound card detection has failed or due to some other reason the module is not listed in that file. Manually loading module (modprobe) makes sound work. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-powerpc Locale: LANG=en_IN, LC_CTYPE=en_IN (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
