However, from what I see briefly, the dvorak layout is among those we ship in the udeb so it should be there. Do you mean that you can't choose it.....or that it doesn't work?
Actually, this is my fault, you can select it (at least on expert, which is fine), however I missed it the first time \-:
- Does not detect a firewire CDROM drive. Even when selecting the sbpcd module by hand from the list, modprobe fails.Really strange. The Dell X200 is precisely the machine that we were using back in 2004 to actually test the Firewire CD support in the sarge installer. More precisely *my* X200 was the one we tested on (at the Debconf 4 in Brazil). I have to admit, however, that the etch installer hasn't been tested on it (by me, at least). The following bit of code is what should do the trick: # if firewire was found, try to enable firewire cd support if is_not_loaded sbp2 && is_available scsi_mod; then if is_available sbp2; then db_subst hw-detect/load_progress_step CARDNAME "FireWire CDROM support" db_subst hw-detect/load_progress_step MODULE "sbp2" db_progress INFO hw-detect/load_progress_step load_module sbp2 else missing_module sbp2 "FireWire CDROM" fi fi Have you tried manually loading the "sbp2" module?
I didn't, I tried sbpcd, forgetting at the time which one I'd been using and assuming that would be the correct one in this kernel. I'll give it another shot later. I have since tried using the netboot installer with slightly more success, but again a lot of faff: Firstly, detect disks does not modprobe ide-disk and ide-generic. I did these by hand and my disk appeared. Secondly, partman fails to run (loops on detecting partitions, then on subsequent tries blocks on '35dump'). Manually partitioning, formatting and mounting my filesystems allows base-setup to run but tzsetup, setting passwords, installing the bootloader (either) all failed and I had to do them by hand as well.
