INSTALL REPORT Debian-installer-version: bootfloppy-image.img beta1 (timestamp of the images: 2003-11-09; downloaded today from http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/installer-i386/20031109/images/) Date: 2003-11-16 Method: bootfloppy on a laptop with PCMCIA; PC has a CD drive, but I did not want to use it Machine: Toshiba 740CDT (about 1998) Processor: Pentium MMX 166 MHz Memory: ca. 80MB Root Device: should become IDE, but I did not reach the stage where this matters Root Size/partition table: n/a Output of lspci: n/a Base System Installation Checklist: Initial boot worked: [ OK ] Configure network HW: [ OK ] Config network: [ OK ] Detect CD: [ E ] Load installer modules: [ E ] Detect hard drives: [ ] Partition hard drives: [ ] Create file systems: [ ] Mount partitions: [ ] Install base system: [ ] Install boot loader: [ ] Reboot: [ ] Comments/Problems: As soon as the installation routines had network access, they started downloading lots of data from raff.debian.org. I consider it a bug that it didn't give me a chance to configure a different server, especially as I do have a slow internet connection but a proxy server in the LAN. And I want to repeat the installation within LANs without Internet access. After that, the installation complained: Your installation CD could not be mounted. That probably means that the CD is not yet inserted. If that's the case, just insert it and don't perform the manual configuration; the CD mount will be re-tried. If your CD was already in the drive, there was another problem: try the manual CD configuration Perform manual CD configuration? [Yes] [No] If I say "No", I just get the same screen again. If I say "Yes", I get pulled into a dialog about CDROM modules and devices that I'm not interested in. I want the thing to continue downloading from the net without using the CD. I find no way to go past this point in the dialog. Regards, -- andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
