Package: debian-installer
Version: Release Candidate 1
When you have other non-Unix OSes on the disk and the debian-installer
install them in /boot/grub/menu.lst, the entry "other operating
systems", which acts as a title to them, is selected as default; but
this does not work. The OS should be

I want to disable the hardware auto detection on bootup, because it does not
always work reliably. The method with /etc/modules.conf is sometimes better

Hi Eric,
ah, that's good to know, thanks.
It would be good if the installer could ask whether you want autodetection
or not, WHILE and AFTER installation.

Thanks, that one sounds good, will try!
However, an option even for the "average user" in the installer would be
nice :)

The installer should be able to launch SSHD for installation. This is
especially useful for remote installations. My suggestion:
- The kernel has to be booted with sshd=true root_password=12345
- Then the installer does not launch on tty1, but on the fir

The CD should only boot on keypress, like the Windows NT (ugh!) CD does:
Please press any key to start from the Debian GNU/Linux CD,
otherwise normal BIOS boot order will continue in seven seconds.

The last one I tested was Beta 2 of the install CD.
My suggestion is not just booting only on a keypress, but booting in the
normal BIOS boot order (i.e. normally hda, hdb, hdc, ...) if NO key is
pressed. Exactly like the Windows NT/2000/XP CDs do.

The problem seems to be a different one.
Due to the default PAM configuration, a "passwd" uses MD5 passwords.
The initial installer, however, creates DES passwords.
Shall I file a new bug for that?

The installer asks the password for root and optionally the password for the
normal user account. These passwords are saved in /etc/shadow.
However, they are NOT encrypted with MD5 (i.e. strings beginning with $1$ in
/etc/shadow), but with DES. When you change passwords via "passwd", they are

Sorry for the confusion ;)
What I meant was that "passwd" after installation CORRECTLY creates MD5 sums
due to the CORRECT md5 entry in the appropriate PAM file.
So: PAM is just fine. Only the installer has a bug. It's not creating MD5
passwords.

This relates to some other bug I have filed.
You have no choice to NOT use DHCP when a DHCP server is reachable.

Hi Joey,
This begs the question of how you ran it, if you didn't bother to look
for a device node (which would be in devfs syntax, so not /dev/hda).
IIRC, cfdisk has to be told the device to run on, you must have told it
something or it would have given you a usage message.

This could have been due to the broken 2.4.27 kernel images that the
