Right, once, you have a clean debian install sure you just upgrade.
Yet, "preserve /home" (or rather del sys-files) provides a nice
way to get to the point of

I've found a contradiction. It is claimed that netinst iso contains
the so-called base system. Albeit install manual states that network
(internet?) connection is necessary during installation of base
system. How come?

Hi,
trying a wheezy d-i alpha1 image (businesscard/i386) in virtualbox, it
failed to pik the right flavour, picking 686-pae (replacement for 686)
instead of 486. This fails because PAE isn't available.
I'm not sure yet whether

Hey folks,
Remembering the fun that we had during the Squeeze release with trying
to make single-CD installations work well, it's time to consider what
we're going to *claim* to support in Wheezy. We've had a history of
supporting the following single-CD installations:
* Gnome desktop from CD#1

Hi,
it would be nice if lintian could check an udeb isn't empty.
(There might legitimate cases where udebs ship no contents, and just
contain maintainer scripts/debconf stuff, so I'm cc-ing debian-boot@
for input.)

Thank you Cyril and everyone.
In terms of presentation, this looks fine to me. In terms of content, I
added all issues from DebianInstaller/Today which I'm confident affect
alpha1 (that is, 1 issue).

I solved the problem, due to the presence of two USB device.
In my last output (mount) there are /dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1
These devices are:
- Onda MW833UP (umts USB pen drive)
- LG DVDRAM GP08NU20 (USB CD-ROM)
I've detached the first device before booting the installer

Hi Miguel,
Which kernel did you choose? Do both kfreebsd-8 and kfreebsd-9 have
this problem?
And which version of VirtualBox was this? I believe a bug in vbox 3.2
leads to regular panics of kfreebsd-9. vbox 4.x or kfreebsd-8 are
