Bug#383253: installation-report: wrong choice of arch for libc6-

2006-08-15 Thread Hendrik Sattler
Hi, one additional comment: the installer chose the right kernel (linux-2.6-i686) but the wrong libc6: libc6-amd64 got installed although the processor is only a iPIII. libc6-i686 should have been installed instead. HS -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscri

Hi, Obviously, the setup (after reboot and after installing mdetect) wants to install something (don't know what because it is not displayed) but read-edid is not on the first disc. Does not hurt much but gives a short error message. HS -- Mein GPG-Key ist auf meiner Homepage verfügbar: http:

Bug#265001: sparc issue solved

2004-09-23 Thread Hendrik Sattler
Hi, it seems that partman works alright but does not show everything it knows. It knows about the whole disk thing (or was it the Sol8-Install that created it?) and everything is fine now. To run fdisk (the 's' command there), the rescue system can be used _after_ installation. HS -- Mein GP
