Base System Installation Checklist:
Initial boot worked: [E] 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: [E] Reboot: [O] [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it
Comments/Problems: Perhaps it is an idea to state the commands to determine cpuspeed, mem, hd-names, etc. Some of us really have no idea. :)
I had no trouble with installing Debian with beta 1 (didn't file bugreport).
Now I had trouble with installing Grub (then Lilo). It gave an error, that it couldn't install.
I tried to install lilo, which did not gave an error, but the reboot failed.
Somehow it still used grub (error 18).
I think the reason the bootloader failed to install is because I had EZdrive installed.
I overwrote the MBS with MAXblast3 and placed zero's on the HD. Furthermore I installed the Promise mass storage controller, so the 160 gig secondary HD would be detected.
When I installed again it went flawless.
I'm really looking forward to installing a stable Debian system with Debian installer. Doesn't matter if it's not Sarge. If I can install Woody with Debian installer, I would be very very happy also!
Keep up the good work! Thnx for Debian installer!
