Debian-installer-version: sarge-i386-netinst.iso from 9-nov-2004 uname -a: Linux (none) 2.6.8-1-386 Date: 9-nov-2004 Method: Preseed file w/ network install in QEMU virtual machine. Machine: VM Processor: VM Memory: Root Device: VM Root Size/partition table: 5 GB VM Output of lspci and lspci -n: Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot worked: [o] 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: [e] Install boot loader: [ ] Reboot: [ ] Comments/Problems: Booted the CD in QEMU. On the boot prompt I typed: linux26 debconf/priority=critical preseed/url=ftp://**:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/incoming/preseed languagechooser/language-name=English countrychooser/shortlist=US console-keymaps-at/keymap=us Remarks: * I'd like to define the language in the preseed file, not manually and also not on the boot prompt. * DI still asks what debian mirror to use (it lists all dutch mirrors). I've got these settings in the preseed file: base-config apt-setup/uri_type select ftp base-config apt-setup/country select Netherlands base-config apt-setup/hostname string ftp.nl.debian.org base-config apt-setup/directory string /debian base-config apt-setup/another boolean false Seems that hostname is not used... * In the preseed file, I configured: apt-setup/uri_type select ftp Works fine, but after that, the security updates are fetched from http instead of ftp. Because http is behind a proxy, I want to use ftp. It should be using either apt-setup/uri_type or should have a setting in the preseed. * mdetect, read-edid are installed during installation. I don't want this, I want a minimal installation. And I haven't even selected any tasksel yet. * "There was a problem installing ..." dialog came up and this got me back in the main menu at Select and install packages. Don't know what went wrong. What log file to look at? * I get a setserial question during installation, i that really critical? I don't think so. * I get ssh questions, are the really (all) critical? Whoever reads this, thanks for the installer work so far (preseeding is really cool!) Cheers, Kees -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
