Comments/Problems:
Successful install! Thank you very much for your fruitful hard work! :)
Now on to something completely different...
Between RC2 and perfection...
The installer asked me for my IP and other networking infos despite the boot
option passed (netcfg/disable_dhcp=true); I felt blocked there but courageously
managed to go to the menu, and chose the next option. :) During partitioning,
after creating 3 main partitions, I looked for a way to create an extended
partition, and after 10 minutes of unsuccessful trials I found out it was
created automatically as I created a fourth partition.
The install then proceeded smoothly.
Post-install problems I had to solve myself (now everything is fine!):
- no sound ! I had to install alsa myself (I read sarge goes the 2.4 kernel +
OSS way in the mailing-list). That would be nice if alsa was installed
automatically with the 2.6 kernel. A total newbie wouldn't know about it and
feel disappointed by the silence of debian.
- my old Sony 15 SFII monitor was not recognized as such (I tried and trusted
the automatic way for monitor and mouse), and I lost many hours googling for a
way to modify the settings of the monitor (first in XF86Config-4 to add '1024
768', then in /etc/kde3/kdm/Xservers to add '-dpi 100' in :0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
/usr/X11R6/bin/X -dpi 100 -nolisten tcp vt7)
The sound was of very bad quality; it took me hours of googling to find out
that I had too much distortion because PCM volume was set to high (by me
probably). Sound is still worse than in windows, but the sound card is
different (AC97 now, Yamaha XG ymf744b in windows).
Why is apt-listbugs not installed by default? A couple of years ago I installed
Woody and after 1 month of daily (I later learned monthly ones are wiser)
upgrades (not from stable), my system was crashing in the middle of the boot
sequence, and I never could solve this fatal problem. I went back to windows
for 2 years.
You may write the name of a command to list the partition table (fdisk -l) in
install-report.template/Root Size/partition table:. I lost a couple of minutes
googgling for it. I shall never forgive you.
Go bubulle! Champagne pour tout le monde! Bonne f�tes � tous! ; )
Arigato! Grazie mille! Danke Schoen!

If you ask for disabling dhcp, then you get IP configuration
questions. That's logical..:-)
Please note that IP parameters cannot currently be preseeded.

I experienced the same problem (basically, see my exchanges with
Thomas Hood, recently in debian-boot). IIRC, the main reason is that
ALSA is not the default sound layer in sarge, but still OSS is.
Don't telle me this is Good or Bad...I have no clue about it.
Anyway, this is considered out of scope for the installer....
> Go bubulle! Champagne pour tout le monde! Bonne f=EAtes =E0 tous! ; )
s/bubulle/all other d-i people/
I'm afraid that bubulle alone would never have written the very first
line of d-i..:-)
Given that this install report is a complete success report, I do as
usual with successful install report=A0: I close the bug..:-)
This does not of course mean you weren't right to report. Knowing the
installations are correct is important for the d-i team.
Many thanks for yourtime testing the Debian Installer and reporting
your results. Have fun with your new Debian system!
