I think d-i could do the same with two disc in the same bus, and just show "Hard Disc 1" and "Hard Disc 2", decoding the /dev... for the user when possible, if the scheme is too complicated, then print all the /dev... entries. Just and idea for you. The debconf question about taskel/aptitude/deselect... didn't fit well on the screen, maybe the culprit is related with the Spanish translation, I don't know. In tasksel I've selected X window System (maybe the name it's not exactly this) and it installs pcmcia-cs, which is bad because my computer don't have pcmcia, so it's a waste of time and leads to no necessary questions, the auto detection should deal with this better. Also the xfree auto detection fails, it selects a "vesa" driver, but I have a Nvidia, so the correct driver is "nv". The installer doesn't set up /etc/fstab correctly, this file has the following lines: /dev/hdb1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hdb2 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/fd0 /floppy auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/hdc /cdrom auto ro,user,noauto 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 It lacks the two SCSI cdroms attached to the advansys SCSI adapter (the SCSI adapter was detected by the d-i correctly.) Although I've selected Spanish as my language at the start of the installation, but the console wasn't configure properly, I can't type the "ñ". Finally the machine doesn't power down after shutdown, loading manually the apm module solve this. That's all, keep on with your good work. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux nahoo 2.6.1 #1 Fri Jan 9 16:43:42 CET 2004 i686 Locale: LANG=es_ES.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=es_ES.UTF-8 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
