Nice. :) Excellent, thanks for the test. > Will this commit become part of the standard 'console-setup' package, or > should I keep the patch and apply it to my own system each time > 'console-setup' is updated? It'll become part of the standard package; expect it to be included in the next update.

Re: How about playing a game while installing Debian?

If we had a livecd-based installer, the user could play a regular game at the same time as the installer process ran, from the livecd environment. Then we just need to work out what would be reasonable to fit into the livecd environment. This is where Ubuntu are afaik. Obviously Debian should not be exclusively livecd-installer based as this is only applicable to a single (or a small number) of hardware configurations and usage scenarios. But I think in many cases this set coincides with those where playing games would be useful (I.e. you aren't going to play games during a FAI install, are you?) -- Jon Dowland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I am happy to see that the installer now detects the netwrok card and the hard drive. I would like to continue with the installation to see if I will get a successful debian install using the build but I do not want to loose my current installation. Is it in any way posible to test other installation while at the same time keeping my current installation?

To check the version of the cd is the same way than hd-media. You can load only a CD (into a virtual machine or burn in a CD and load-it "phisically") and in the first debina installer question, make : "alt+f2", and "uname -a". This tells you the CD vlinuz version. The kernel version of hd-media may be the same than netinst cdrom. > > > I'm trying to install squeeze and I notice that the installer has trouble > locating the .iso but succeeds if I select "yes" at the first failure ( and > proceed anyway, loading more files) then when it fails to find the ethernet > port I select "Go Back" and go back to the part where it looks for the .iso > file.
