However, most dialogs were in English. I guess this is just incomplete (yet). Config Network: The installer tried to configure the network via DHCP. This didn't work, of course, since I don't have net access on this machine (only 56k modem). Since I just wanted to install the base system from CD, the whole point of trying to configure the network seemed rather superfluous to me. I was wishing for an option to just skip this and leave the network unconfigured. Especially since it takes rather a long time for the DHCP discovery to fail. After the unsuccessful DHCP thingy I was dumped into the installer menu, where it wasn't immediately clear to me what I should choose next. So I just chose the next point listed, which was... Detect CD: When I chose this, the installer *again* tried to configure my network via DHCP! Which failed, of course, and brought me back to the installer menu. I tried this three times, and the installer never did anything about my CD drive, but always tried the DHCP stuff. I think this is a real bug. Being back in the menu, I next chose "Load installer components", although I didn't know what it should be good for. When it explained to me that I probably won't need it, I skipped it. Next point... Detect hardware: Here I got an error message: "Unable to load some modules". It complained about ide-mod, ide-probe-mod, and ide-floppy. Well, it turned out that the install could be completed just fine without these modules, so one can consider this just a cosmetic bug. Some people might get confused, though. Besides, it didn't become clear to me what the whole exercise was good for - I at least expected a summary of what hardware was actually detected. I now turned to the more familiar points of the installation. Partition hard drives: Create file systems: Mount partitions: No problems encountered here. Thank God! (and the developpers ;) Install base system: This worked almost flawlessly, however, at the very end I got a message box that was rather screwed up (no title, no message, weird formatting - sorry for no screenshot) and contained only the "Weiter" ("Next"?) button, which I clicked. I was returned to the menu. The weird look of this message box might be related to the incomplete localization. At some point, I tried "Save logs to floppy". This was a complete failure -- there was no floppy activity at all. Neither did I get any error message. Install boot loader (LILO): The installer suggested to install to the boot block of /dev/ide/host2/bus1/target0/lun0/disc . Since I can't read devfs newspeak, I just went along with this and assumed this would be the right choice -- namely /dev/hda, which is what the BIOS boots. Well, turns out that the above actually is /dev/hdg, so after the reboot I just got my familiar old boot menu. So I booted woody and added other=/dev/hdg label=sarge to my lilo.conf, ran lilo, and rebooted. Now I could choose sarge from the boot menu and actually ended up in sarge, where base-config took over. I can understand why the installer chose /dev/hdg for LILO installation, since that's the disk my root partition is on. What really bothers me here is that I'd have to figure out the whole host-bus-target-lun stuff if I wanted to manually correct the installer's choice. I'd prefer some kind of menu that lists the most sensible locations for the boot loader (of course, one still needs the option for a complete manual configuration -- this just shouldn't be the *only* option). After the Install: On booting, the system again tries its DHCP thing and fails. I think this process should be backgrounded because it takes very long (I guess this is not a problem of d-i). Base-config worked as usual, but I didn't do much with it anyway. Remaining problems: CDROM configured wrong: According to /etc/fstab, the cdrom device is /dev/hdc. However, the module ide-scsi was loaded and had grabbed it, so the cdrom device was actually /dev/scd0. However, what I did was to manually rmmod ide-scsi & modprobe ide-cd, so /dev/hdc was the correct choice again. This point definitely needs fixing. Wrong keymap: At the very beginning of the installation, the installer promised that my choice of language would also affect the locale settings etc., so I had hoped that my choice (German) would at least give me the right keymap for my standard German QWERTZ keyboard. However, the keymap I ended up with is rather strange -- most keys are right (even the special characters), but all the characters I normally access with AltGr (like |, @, {, }, [, ]) are somewhere else (but it's also different from a US keymap). Conclusion: Install was successful, it didn't shred my hard disks, but I encountered many oddities. --------------------------------------- Received: (at 220192-done) by bugs.debian.org; 13 Apr 2004 19:39:23 +0000 >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Apr 13 12:39:23 2004 Return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: from smtp804.mail.sc5.yahoo.com [66.163.168.183] by spohr.debian.org with smtp (Exim 3.35 1 (Debian)) id 1BDTkh-0005aR-00; Tue, 13 Apr 2004 12:39:23 -0700 Received: from unknown (HELO triplehelix.org) ([EMAIL PROTECTED]@68.126.186.145 with login) by smtp804.mail.sc5.yahoo.com with SMTP; 13 Apr 2004 19:39:22 -0000 Received: by triplehelix.org (Postfix, from userid 1000) id 67DF42DDD0; Tue, 13 Apr 2004 12:39:20 -0700 (PDT) Date: Tue, 13 Apr 2004 12:39:20 -0700 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Close these bugs Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-sha1; protocol="application/pgp-signature"; boundary="NDin8bjvE/0mNLFQ" Content-Disposition: inline X-Habeas-SWE-1: winter into spring X-Habeas-SWE-2: brightly anticipated X-Habeas-SWE-3: like Habeas SWE (tm) X-Habeas-SWE-4: Copyright 2002 Habeas (tm) X-Habeas-SWE-5: Sender Warranted Email (SWE) (tm).
