Package: installation-guide Hi,
in the installation guide, at http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/ch06s03.html there is a discussion of "Configuring Your Mail Transport Agent" that no longer reflects the debian installer (at least as of rc1 or later). In the d-i tree the text is at trunk/manual/en/using-d-i/modules/pkgsel.xml Instead of asking all installers these somewhat complex questions about the type of mail transfer required, the installation program no longer asks any questions at all about MTA setup[*]. What it does instead is automatically defaults to a 'local delivery' setup, if you select the "standard system" item in tasksel. (If you don't select "standard system", exim4 is not installed.) [*] In the usual mode of installation. Questions might be asked if you set debconf/priority=low, but I have not tested this. I'm not sure what form the patch should take. I think the whole subsection should be moved to part of the manual, maybe an appendix, since it is a little analogous to the complexities of partitioning. It's also something you may want to go back to and tweak once you have the basic system installed. I think this change in the way the installer works should be noted in the release notes as well. Could someone duplicate this bug and file against release-notes? see bug #401007 for an example of me tripping over this change.
