Hi, This is not as drastic as it sounds, but I think warrants attention anyway. It's more of a usability issue rather than a bug. I was trying to install Debian from the woody disk images (normal; not safe, not compact) and was getting as far as the 'Install Base System' option, using the 'network' option, but it was having trouble installing the 'groff' and 'man-db' packages. The problem is this: once the install system detects errors installing it bails out with no option to continue and configure the packages that are installed (bar telling it to do so from the command prompt - I did say a usability issue ;). The upshot of this is fstab is never configured properly (it doesn't seem to be in the 'Make System Bootable' bit) and you can't reboot the system because it hangs after entering run-level 2 (after/during starting syslogd - that bit might be specific to my installation ?/ ) to put things right (ie. run dselect ;). Also, it does not seem to like the fact that proc is already mounted if you run 'Install Base Sytem' multiple times. Finally, it would be nice if the 'network' option (downloading stuff from the internet) didn't bail out on any (ish) error, so you have to start again. Also, 'go back to menu' buttons would be nice for when we've selected something, which we shouldn't have, so we don't have to keep pressing Ctrl-C. Matthew Bell [EMAIL PROTECTED] p.s. After pressing Ctrl-C, selecting the 'Make System Bootable' option seems to act like pressing Ctrl-C again. p.p.s. damn I'm long winded... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
