Hello.
I've not looked at DI for several months. Today I downloaded current netinst
and installed a vmware. And guess what? It installed Debian! I'm impressed.
Great Work!
However, not everything is perfect yet.
At the very beginning, I selected Russian language.

Hello.
Seems it is very bad that rmmod is not available in installation shell.
It makes it not possible to fix a typo in module parameters (such as invalid
IRQ).

If fact you can, by using aliases instead of modules names in /etc/modules.
These aliases may be defined differently in /etc/modutils/ for 2.4

Could someone please NMU slang with patch from 195010 applied?
Without that patch drawing window borders will NOT work properly on Linux
console on non-UTF8 locale (at least, without ugly hacks like TERM=xterm
that do break console settings).

Until now I was sure that Depends: control field of udebs is used in same
way as Depends: control field of norman debs.
However, seems it is not.
I just got an error while running make build_cdrom_isolinux in

yesterday.

Seems that currently grub-installer does not try to add other
installed operating systems to the generated boot menu.
As a temporary measure (until proper installed OS detection is implemented),
the following script may be added. It checks if there is /dev/hda1 that is

I just found that in d-i pre-rc2 images (linked from
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer) russian installation is
broken.
Some time ago, I've proposed installation of console-cyrillic package at
