Bug#239761: debian-installer: network driver not loaded after reboot

2004-03-24 Thread Ove Kaaven
Package: debian-installer Severity: normal After failing to install testing, I decided to try to install unstable, which completed the installation and managed to boot the newly installed Debian. Neat! But there were still post-boot issues to spot. Apart from missing translations, and the Norwegia

Bug#239763: debian-installer: bad cdrom entry in generated fstab

2004-03-24 Thread Ove Kaaven
Package: debian-installer Severity: normal After my complete network installation of debian unstable, using DHCP, PXE-booting, TFTP, and stuff, which pretty much worked, the generated /etc/fstab contains a cdrom entry without a device name, like so: /dev/hda3 / ext2 ... /cdrom

If it makes a difference, this was after a couple of failures to go back to reformat the partitions (which were because I had cd-ed into /target on tty2, before I figured it out and cd-ed out so I could reformat the partitions) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "u

2004-03-23 Thread Ove Kaaven
Package: debian-installer Severity: minor I had already partitioned the disk I wanted to install debian on, and given them the appropriate types (linux, linux swap), so I pretty much just needed to tell debian-installer what to put on those partitions. When I selected the swap partition and was gi

2004-03-23 Thread Ove Kaaven
Package: debian-installer Severity: minor I think the translation for "downloading components" early in the install said "laster ned kompenter" or something like that. I can't claim to be sure to know the nynorsk spelling, but in bokmål it should probably be "komponenter", not "kompenter". -- Sys

Report of some problems in debian-installer

2003-07-18 Thread Ove Kaaven
I've done a test run of debian-installer at debcamp with the aim of finding stuff that needs to be fixed, such as bad UI, things that don't work when doing unexpected things, and such. Time only allowed me to actually complete the installation once, although that installation failed to boot. Anyway
