Bug#851620: partman-md: doesn't warn about not being able to embed in the end

Is this the same problem that was reported in installation-report bug #768624 "grub core.img won't fit in the embedding area which is required for LVM"? Roger

Hopefully this time when I do an installation I will remember to get a calculator out. The people who don't care are mostly those who don't know what a gigabyte is. (FTR, that's near to be insulting in my standards…) I'm sorry, that was over the top. I know what giga- and gibi-bytes are, but I still don't care right now; we are actually trying to get Wheezy out and there are other priorities (such as 572 Release-Critical bugs) than this type of problem. Absolutely agreed. I wouldn't hope to see this fixed for Wheezy - even just changing the wording of the text requires an enormous amount of work at this stage - it's just frustrating to see it apparently being dismissed out of hand as not being a problem.

So if anybody wants to change the units of measurement, a change to the wording _and_ the code is required. I don't think anyone has suggested that the wording is wrong, just not what is expected by many users. (Not that I agree with those standards, but that's irrelevant.)

Bug#668903: The installer marks everything manually installed.
This is one of the reasons why I don't install tasks from the installer, and one of the first things I do on a new system is to mark most packages (especially libs) as automatically installed. I would be grateful if a way could be found to improve this. Thanks for your work on Debian, Roger -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#238830: about your Debian installation report
On 14/10/2004 07:35, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If you can, please go to http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer and download the latest release of the installer. Try another install and see if the problem you reported is still present. If you're able to test this, please send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and report whether the problems you reported are fixed, or still present. If you're unable to do this test for whatever reason, please send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and let us know, and we will try to look at your report in more detail. Sorry, I can't reinstall on the same machine at the moment, and I won't be able to try an install on any machine for a couple of weeks. For reference the machine used for the original installation was a Compaq DP4000 6333MX 3200/CDS UK. The worst problem I had was trying to work out the required syntax for giving a username and password to our web proxy when using the netinst image. There was no help given at the prompt, nor were there any useful error messages, and trying again required a reboot. I haven't been able to get the machine to automatically reboot since installing, so that's unlikely to be an installer problem, although it will switch itself off nicely. Sound seems to work fine after compiling the ALSA Generic ESS ES18xx driver into the kernel. I think the naming problem (Britain should be United Kingdom) in Country Chooser was fixed long ago.
