Bug#653019: Please provide faster encryption options for netbooks

2011-12-22 Thread Juliusz Chroboczek
Package: partman-crypto I'm running Debian on a 1.6 GHz atom netbook. According to hdparm, the raw disk can read at over 60MB/s, while the encrypted disk can only do 20MB/s using cypher aes-cbc-essiv:sha256. It'd be nice if partman-crypto could offer (with all the usual warnings) a selection to

Bug#452697: Rescue mode lists partitions in particularly unhelpful manner

2007-11-24 Thread Juliusz Chroboczek
Package: installation-reports Severity: minor The Debian installer in Etch, when run in rescue mode, tells me Device to use as root file system: and then gives me a list of partitions without listing either their size or their type. Of course, I can open a shell to find out that information,

Bug#280953: Command line arguments ignored

2004-11-13 Thread Juliusz Chroboczek
This is indeed fixed in the pre-RC2 version of the installer. Thanks for your assistance. (The Sarge installer is much improved over Woody, by the way. Pity ext3 is the default -- Reiserfs would be a much better choice for a fresh install.) Juliusz --

Bug#280951: Sarge RC1 Boot disk won't work without noapic

2004-11-12 Thread Juliusz Chroboczek
Package: debian-installer-manual Version: 20041027 I'm not quite sure what package to file this against, please reassign it if this is not correct. The Sarge RC1 boot disk doesn't see the IDE in a Presario 711 EA (AMD Duron) unless I mention ``noapic'' on the boot line. The BIOS disables the API
