Christian,
I'm not sure what to say to the fact that you can't reproduce it.
Well, here are some more settings--perhaps they may help you track down
the problem:
Base System Install
-----
language setting:
- en (other countries) ---- english
Country:
- Canada
Kernel:
kernel-image-2.6.6-1-386
-----
Debian System Configuration (after reboot)
-----
Set hardware clock to GMT?
- YES
Time Zone:
- Eastern
Software selection method:
- "nothing, you may manually run apt-get or any of the above later"
=============================
The above issue aside, I just remembered one thing I really
disliked--not directly related to the installer but installing
in general.
It relates to the package 'shorewall' -- the directory that
(usually) holds the configuration files "/etc/shorewall/" was
empty. The default configuration files were in
"/usr/share/doc/shorewall/default-config/". I don't know if
there is a good reason for the change (they used to be in
"/etc/shorewall/") --but I can't help think the current
arrangement (of default config files) is less newbie friendly.
Also, isn't the first thing one does is--copy the default
config files to the /usr/shorewall/ directory?
