Package: installation-reports Debian-installer-version: Fri, July 9, 2004, from http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ uname -a: Linux linux 2.4.21-231-smp4G #1 SMP Mon Jun 28 15:22:10 UTC 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux (This was the Suse installation I used to download and burn the image. Once installed, the uname -a: Linux debian 2.4.25-1-386 #2 Wed Apr 14 19:38:08 EST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux) Date: Friday, July 9, 2004, at about 4pm EST. Method: Installation was done under VMWare 4.5.2 build 8848. I used the Netinst CD for i386 from the site above. I did not use a proxy.
Machine: Dell Precision Workstation 220 Processor: Dual 860 Mhz Pentium III Memory: 256MB Root Device: I allowed a logical volume for VMWare to place it's data. Under the covers, VMWare created a virtual BusLogic BT-958 controller and virtual devices under it.

Once I figured it out, it was pretty straight forward. My only concern is that I was unable to determine how to set up logical volumes and place my data on them. Under Red Hat and SuSE, I've set up /boot as an ext3 partition, and the rest of the system under logical volumes. Since Debian doesn't use /boot as a separate partition with the kernel in it, I was just wondering how to do the same using the new installer. All in all, I like it a LOT! It'll be killer when the final release comes out! Good luck! -- Tony.
