Comments/Problems:
The install process was undertaken on a Compaq EVO 610c Laptop computer.
I obtained the DVD image using jigdo from
http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/dvd/jigdo-area/
The DVD ISO image was created successfully and burned to a DVD.
The DVD was inserted into the DVD drive and the machine was rebooted.
The installer started correctly and prompted me to type enter to trigger
the install process. I did this and the computer then loaded linux,
apparently correctly, eventually presenting me with a menu to choose
language.
I chose English.
The next menu allowed me to choose Australia as my country.
The next menu allowed me to choose American English as my Keyboard layout.
The next screen detected my CD-ROM
The next screen scanned the CD-ROM (taking a couple of minutes).
I was then allowed to modify the debconf priority setting but I left it on
high
by hitting the enter key.
I was then asked if I wanted to verify the CD-ROM integrity and I declined
the offer
(although I took up the offer on other runs through the process to see if
these was
a problem - there was not).
I was then allowed to run an interactive shell and I did so. At that point
it was not
at all clear to me what was required to complete the installation process.
The hard drive did not seem to have been altered by any of this process. I
was expecting
a repartitioning exercise to be necessary - at a minimum.

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful
The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet.
In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.
You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.
If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.
Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
