Bug#685681: Successful install on old Acer Aspire One ZG5 laptop

(The installation report bug I am replying to is my own, where I tried the beta-1 installer many months ago. I now tried the RC1 installer on the same computer. To make this report more clear, I wrote it as a new standalone installation report, instead of trying to refer to the previous one. So ple

Bug#702113: debian-installer: System time wrong if RTC in local time zone

Package: debian-installer Version: 20130211 I wanted to test what would happen when installing Debian on a system whose RTC is set to the local time zone instead of UTC, and the installer cannot access an NTP server. I assume this is a supported scenario, since the expert test-mode installer asks

Bug#702093: debian-installer: please allow the user to set the system time manually

Package: debian-installer Version: 20130211 Severity: wishlist There does not seem to be any way to set the system time manually in the (expert, text-mode) installer. The "Configure the clock" selection allows setting it from NTP (but my firewall blocks it), but I can't find any way to set the tim

Bug#702081: tasksel: task-laptop ends up installing print server via recommends

Package: tasksel Version: 3.14+nmu1 While test-installing wheezy using the RC1 installer, I deselected the "Print server" task (because I won't be printing from this test installation), but I got the CUPS server installed and running anyway, so in effect my choice was ignored. Specifically, I use

Package: debian-installer Version: 20130211 (I hope the version is correct - I don't know how to find it from the installer. I used the wheezy RC1 installer from: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/wheezy_di_rc1/i386/iso-cd/debian-wheezy-DI-rc1-i386-netinst.iso ) The installer (at least the net

Bug#678015: debian-installer: Guided partitioning took 26 hours to complete erasure of encripted LVM volume

I ran into a variation of this bug while test-installing wheezy: I was installing on an external USB hard drive (because I didn't want to touch the installation on the internal drive when only testing), and the "erasing data" step took a very long time. I wasn't in a hurry and left it running overn

Bug#619064: No way to set system time manually in the installer?

Package: debian-installer Version: 20110106+b1 Severity: minor [ I hope this is the right package and version for this bug report - or should I file against installation-reports? I am talking about the text-mode installer in Debian 6.0.0, i.e., the initial squeeze release, using a self-prepared US
