Dear D-I developers,
I have tested the debian-install first beta.
I have used the sarge-i386-businesscard.iso.
I have a IDE disk a IDE CDROM an windbond-840 ethernet card and
a SCSI card (aic7xx) with nothing attached.
Here my experience:
I have entered `net' at boot prompt.

Hello d-i developers,
There have been some work toward pppoe support in d-i.
I tried to test the ppp postinst script, but apparently I was not
skilled to even manage to run it.
So is there a d-i image with updated ppp-udeb and pppoe modules that I
could test ?
Cheers, [please CC me]

Oh, I well-know that. I use a modified version. My problem is I cannot
manage to properly load the udeb in d-i.

Hello Debian-installer team,
After testing beta 1 and beta 2, I tried beta 3, with the
same goal in mind: install Debian in a file using a loop
device.
As far as I could see, all beta detected the hardware of
the box fine.
beta 1 and 2 lacked the minimal support to create loop device,
but the s

Do you know if your USB devices work with a stock 2.4 kernel ?
It seems the current support for USB Mass storage in 2.4 kernels
needs a bit of screwdriving for a lot of hardware. This mean adding entries

If you choose "main-menu: Launch a shell", you get a shell with broken
readline: using the left arrow key lead to a broken display.
Apparently, the shell under Alt-F2 does not have this problem, so I
suspect a bad tty setting.

Hello debian-installer team,
During the base system install, I get a menu asking me to choose
a kernel (2.4.25 or 2.6.5).
I don't install on a bootable media so I technically don't need a kernel.
Unfortunately I was forced to install one, so I picked 2
Hello Debian-installer team,
During the baseconfig part of the install, locales are set up,
while root has C locale by default (but the user account has
correct locales).
This has some consequences:
1) Debian menu is translated, since update-menus was ran under
proper locales! This is very nice

Hello, apparently base-config set up LANG in /etc/environment only at the end.
This might cause some shells to not have a proper LANG because they are
started earlier (for example if you press F2 and log in).
Ideally, /etc/environment could be s

Dear Debian boot,
It is now possible to set up Debian system without a root password.
On such system sudo must be used instead of su.
What is the canonical way to detect such situation ?
My purpose is to change su-to-root to automatically default to sudo mode
on such system.
Cheers,
