Bug#693956: Acknowledgement (Wheezy d-i fails to set german keymap when set on command line)
It looks like I need to set both debian-installer/keymap=de and keymap=de keymap=de prevents getting the keyboard layout selection displayed, but does not seem to do anything regarding the actual layout being set debian-installer/keymap=de sets the keyboard layout to German but the selection still gets displayed Both settings together have the desired effect. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Experience and problems in installing wheezy b-4
I downloaded kde version of wheezy b-4. Problems are listed below. 1) I used netbootin and prepared USB stick from iso. Though it booted from USB, it was looking for CD for further installation. Hence I have to burn a CD. 2) While installing from CD, I tried to use wifi. But wifi could not be configured. Though same wifi works in kubuntu, mint and also previously in b-3. I think it needs more time to get connected. If there is some time configuration to allow it to connect in stead of standard, it could have saved the trouble. 3)Both in b-3 and b-4, i have downloaded KDE cd. But when I select desktop in task during installation, it downloads and installs GNOME, not the KDE in CD. I hope Installer team will look into the above problems. If I failed to notice something and above problems occurred, kindly let me know to avoid above problems. -- L V Gandhi

UNetbootin? Last time I used it it didn't even display a Debian splash screen and some of the menus did not function. It did boot but I doubt anyone (not me, anyway) is going to debug the operation of this software, especially as the CD FAQ at http://www.debian.org/CD/ and the install manual describe a reliable method for writing an ISO on a USB device. Is there any reason why you cannot use it? I think d-i says it is detecting and mounting a CD-ROM. Somewhat confusing if you have a USB stick. In expert mode there should be a message which says CD-ROM autodetection has been successful. > Hence I have to burn a CD. Please see above. > 2) While installing from CD, I tried to use wifi.

Maybe it would be worse to add the following to the errata: if /boot is on a btrfs filesystem (for example when creating only one partition formatted as btrfs for / ), lilo fails to install, and grub is relative slow on reading its configuration from the btrfs filesystem, which leads to a longer delay until the grub menu appears (see https://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2012/11/msg00084.html ).

Bug#685159: os-prober does not detect Fedora
Package: os-prober Version: 1.56 Followup-For: Bug #685159 The bug is caused by using GRUB's internal filesystems through FUSE which doesn't support symlinks (at least not on ext4). This filesystem is only used when the volume is not already mounted, therefore this bug does not appear when the volume is previously mounted using a real filesystem that properly supports symlinks. The specific problem is in 90linux-distro, which checks for lib*/ld*.so* in the target filesystem as a heuristic to recognize Linux root filesystems. With broken symlinks this fails for distributions that moved lib* to /usr and only left symlinks in place. Attached patch fixes this by also checking for usr/lib*/ld*.so*.
