Hi, I tried the woody-i386-1.raw image, and although I have not performed extensive testing yet, I have the following comments:
(note - I might better submit this as a bug report - however, I don't know which package to report this for...) First of all, it loads perfectly on my test machine (Celeron, i810, mostly standard machine). I tested first the 24bf image. I was surprised to see it uses a framebuffer... Now... This can be good, but I don't understand why it is using it - The display is MUCH slower than using the regular interface, and it is still curses-based. What did we gain from framebuffer? Second - I am installing it using the Spanish interface. When I get to choose the filesystem type I will be using, the text is almost too wide to be shown on screen... It fits, but it is noticeably too wide, because of the description of the Ext3 line: Ext3 : Siguiente generaci�n de Ext2, un sistema de ficheros transaccional Third - The translations for 'Found a Debian CD-ROM', 'Other bootable partitions' and 'Securing LILO' screens seems not to have been found. Fourth - After I select an option from 'Other bootable partitions', the screen keeps its frame drawn on background, it does not get cleared with the usual blue background. Fifth - Upon reboot, the kernel loaded correctly, but when the second part of the installer should have appeared, I got: /usr/sbin/base-config: cat:: command not found eight times, then: INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes Note that entering via a second tty, I was able to use the (minimal) system - Cat was effectively installed. Using the default 'idepci' install, I had (as expected) the same results (of course, with the differences derived from the different kernels) during the installation, however, the rest of the installation worked fine. I must go on working now... But well, this is my report. I hope it is useful. -- Gunnar Wolf - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - (+52-55)5623-1118 PGP key 1024D/8BB527AF 2001-10-23 Fingerprint: 0C79 D2D1 2C4E 9CE4 5973 F800 D80E F35A 8BB5 27AF -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
