Some notes : 1) I don't know if it's VMware's DHCP server fault, but netcfg wasn't able to get an IP address from it. Tried again three times and then used the manual method, which worked fine. 2) The shadow package used in daily builds doesn't seem to be the one which contains the translated debconf templates included by the recent Christian Perrier's NMU so a lot of shadow's templates were displayed in English. For Brazilian Portuguese, one additional patch, which fixes 10 fuzzy strings, is needed. Patch and bug report in #246848. 3) The ssh package displayed the debconf note about privilege separation. For a newbie, this could be hard to understand (and one more key press during the intallation was necessary :-) ). Maybe lower the debconf priority of this note ? Really don't know as it's usefull. 4) X didn't detected the video card. Don't know if it should be detected as it's a VMware installation and no real video card exists. X diplayed the X's modules list and asked me to choose from it, defaulting to "vesa". 5) Even if I didn't asked, security.debian.org was added to sources.list so I noticed that lots of "stable" (from Woody) updates were fetched while apt was downloading packages. Don't know if that's really a problem, but at least a incovenience for users of low bandwidth connections as it means that packages for woody are downloaded, which doesn't seem to be of any use to one which is installing a Sarge base :-) Great job ! Can't wait for having an easy to use RAID and LVM capable installer :-) That said, I will try to do some test installs using mdcfg and lvmcfg later.
