Those of us installing stock debian with espeak and using the s as a boot parameter to do it are faced with a problem during installation of the operating system once the installation gets underway. Both the control-c and control-d keys are not honored when pressed and even held down repeatedly during this process. The only way I managed to get dropped onto the main menu was to encounter an error in the installation process which I forced by failing to connect the computer to the network when using a netinst disk to do the install. My reason for going into the main menu is that I need to have priority for questions set to low and I want to check disk integrity and I want to arrange to have debug logs saved somewhere in the event the installation developed into a failure for me. If the integrity passes and that's in the debug log and some other error happens later also in the debug log then either the integrity was good and the other error is also valid or the integrity actually failed notwithstanding a claim to the contrary and in either case it should be interesting to more than just us installers. If it were possible to do something like s expert as boot parameters together and have both honored that might open up some more possibilities for those of us using the accessibility facilities debian has installed. Before I close this message I have a question brought about by a discovery that the amd k8 athelon I use for linux for whatever reason hasn't got a working floppy drive. If I get a network connection going and get network detected and configured and choose to send debug log output to a web address, and finish an installation in some fashion and I decide to go onto the web will I be able to recover my installation logs from the web address shown when the web output method is chosen? My reason for asking is that the address is a temporary address according to the message when web output is chosen. Is this temporary in terms of say 24 hours or only long enough to get the installation ended? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- jude <[email protected]> Adobe fiend for failing to Flash
