Like Baltasar I'm testing sarge installs with the debian-installer and the target system is a full SCSI machine (disks, cdrom, etc.) I intend to provide installation reports as soon as possible. > You were not trying to install using a *scsi* cdrom were you?

Why and how should it be done ? I'm following this list for some weeks now, and I couldn't remember having read anything related, but I don't understand everything that's beeing said on the list though. Why SCSI drivers, and I guess some others, are not "included" in the netinst iso ? Is it a temporary situation ? Maybe updating the Installation Howto would benefit others ? http://cvs.debian.org/debian-installer/doc/INSTALLATION-HOWTO?rev=HEAD Cheers and thank you, -- Marc-Aur�le DARCHE <http://www.cynode.org/> AFUL <http://www.aful.org/> Association Francophone des Utilisateurs de Linux/Logiciels Libres French speaking Linux and Libre Software Users' Association -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
