I use the debian installer quite a bit at work for our automated installs and would love to help the team develop this quicker. Please let me know what I need to do to help. There's no formal process but you've already taken the first step - mailing this list. In addition you also have the IRC channel (#debian-boot on irc.debian.org) which in my experience has the most activity from late evening into late nights (CET). There's also the wiki page - http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller which contains lots of information (with a varying degree of completeness). You might find http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Contrib especially interesting. Basically (this is what I did at least), you check out debian-installer from SVN (see http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/svn), build some images, hack on it, break it, fix it, build new images, test, create patches, file bug reports on the relevant packages with patches attached, discuss with people here and on IRC, etc. Just, think of what you would like to fix/improve/implement in debian-installer and then dive right in. That's the development part of it, there are of course other things which need to be done as well, for example bug triage (http://wiki.debian.org/ProcessingInstallationReports) and translations (http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/l10n-stats/). -- David Härdeman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Should I depend on everything which could possibly be needed (will this affect how it appears in the menu); or should I install the udebs as I need them, so that you don't download/install udebs you don't need? I'd say install udebs on-demand. This is similar to what partman-crypto does and I wouldn't be surprised if more packages did it in the future since it can help cut down on the amount of memory that is required. -- David Härdeman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#428033: partitioning of the disks in the installer with LVM
Package: debian-installer Version: 4.0r0 Severity: wishlist Under the installer dialog for the partitioning method selection dialog;, the istaller carries options including one for LVM, but never indicates what the acronym means. While a discussion of utility of LVM might be out of line, at some point in the dialog text, it ought to at least provide the definition of the acronym. ../dave.
