I had another look at #398966 at Debconf, and got to the bottom of it, so
aside from the fact that it's bloody huge, it should now be viable for use

Hi,
I'm operating with 1.2004.02.08-7, and I'm still seeing the same stuff
getting spat out during the boot process.
If there's any more information I can provide, don't hesitate to ask.

Hi,
I've been dobbed in to give a talk on d-i at next month's CLUG meeting.
I was planning on giving a brief blurb about the history behind the
installer (where we've come from, where we're trying to go) and then launch
into a couple of example installs. The main outcome desired is to get

This (attempted) install was performed on my spiffy new PowerBook G4, using
the daily built CD netboot image from 20040522. This was done using the

Hi,
(Using daily build from the 15th)
DHCP fails, get the "DHCP didn't work, sometimes it's slow, wanna try it
again or not" message.
Tried it again a few times. No joy.
Logs showed:

Hi,
Partman seems to be a bit busted (i386, powerpc)
(daily build from the 15th)
Current partition table is:

#1 primary 60G ntfs
#2 primary 500Mext3
#3 primary 60G LVM
If I select #2, the menu choices are:
Usage method: dont_use

Hi,
Rather than repartition, this time I chose to leave my partitioning as it
was
(/dev/hda2 = ext3
/dev/hda3 = swap
/dev/hda4 = LVM)
and reactivate the existing VG. This worked fine, and the partitioner showed
the partition arrangement as it should.
