Hi,
I'm forwarding this report since it contains information that may be
valuable for you too... if you plan to make yet another bf upload
before the release.
The "cat:: missing command" is an error which someone else already
reported to debian-cd when using the bf24 flavor.
Cheers,

Hi,
I tried the woody-i386-1.raw image, and although I have not performed
extensive testing yet, I have the following comments:
(note - I might better submit this as a bug report - however, I don't know
which package to report this for...)
First of all, it loads perfectly on my test machine (Celeron, i810, mostly
standard machine).
I tested first the 24bf image. I was surprised to see it uses a
framebuffer... Now... This can be good, but I don't understand why it is
using it - The display is MUCH slower than using the regular interface,
and it is still curses-based. What did we gain from framebuffer?
Second - I am installing it using the Spanish interface. When I get to
choose the filesystem type I will be using, the text is almost too wide to
be shown on screen... It fits, but it is noticeably too wide, because of
the description of the Ext3 line:
Ext3 : Siguiente generaci�n de Ext2, un sistema de ficheros transaccional
Third - The translations for 'Found a Debian CD-ROM', 'Other bootable
partitions' and 'Securing LILO' screens seems not to have been found.
Fourth - After I select an option from 'Other bootable partitions', the
screen keeps its frame drawn on background, it does not get cleared with
the usual blue background.
Fifth - Upon reboot, the kernel loaded correctly, but when the second
part of the installer should have appeared, I got:
/usr/sbin/base-config: cat:: command not found
eight times, then:
INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
Note that entering via a second tty, I was able to use the (minimal)
system - Cat was effectively installed.
Using the default 'idepci' install, I had (as expected) the same results
(of course, with the differences derived from the different kernels)
during the installation, however, the rest of the installation worked
fine.
I must go on working now... But well, this is my report. I hope it is
useful.
