reassign 403794 installation-reports tags 403794 moreinfo thanks Dear Art,
Thanks for reporting this bug. I am reassigning it to the installation-reports pseudo-package. Can I suggest you try one of the latest version of our Installer? The Net istall Cd (only 100MB) can be found at: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/i386/iso-cd/debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso Maybe this version fixes your problem, and remember to press F3 as you boot the CD and try out the new Grafical Installer :) It rocks!
