MGA G200 AGP (rev 01) Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot worked: [O] Configure network HW: [O] Config network: [O] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [O] Create file systems: [O] Mount partitions: [O] Install base system: [O] Install boot loader: [O] Reboot: [O] Comments/Problems: The installation was done by an not so well know test person, this is a list of my observations: - While entering IP-Numbers, it would be useful to have the keypad comma use as a colon, not comma (even if you select german keyboard layout) - This computer has two disc drives, the automatic partitioner only used one; having 1GB for /root and 2 for /home was in this case a bad choice. - while doing a manual partitioning we couldn't determine, what the symbols between the size of the partition and the filesystem mean ("what does that strawbery with legs mean?") - The testperson was a little bit confused, when he saw something like "choosing kernel image to install" for a few seconds, and then without any choice (just after one second) the installer continued with the installation of a kernel - while beeing at that point: The test person was confused about the "abbrechen" (cancel) button, he was looking for a "zurueck" (back) button - while creating a new user, the thought, that his entry would replace the realname "Debian User" and login "debian", he disliked to backspace everything. - using tasksel, he got a little bit confused about the navigation with the arrow keys, but he finaly got it (allthough he thought he would need to install the x-task to get the desktop task with kde running) - I wonder why the "would you like to participate" question of popularity contest is on a seperate page. The testperson didn't read the long explanation to the end, pressed okay, and then had that yes/no question, without really knowing what to answer. There wasn't even a back button, so he could get back, reread the text, and then answer correctly - it would be useful, to display, what hardware has been detected - finally I wonder, why the line for /dev/fd0 was commented out in the created fstab -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
