Dear Debian Team,
*1) first (always) say something positive*
being a big fan of Debian since aprox 10 years
thanks for all your efforts making Debian a easy to install (universal)
reliable system, that lowers the bar for users trying to go Open Source
and GNU Linux and FreeSoftware (a migration via OSX might be a good
transition from Windows)
today was the day trying out the new Debian 11 with LTS (LTS is a reason
for users consider switching to Ubuntu, so good choice there)
*2) the problems:*
*E1: (error1) problem: Debian 11 won't install*
*tested on:*
o hp server g6 proliant (amd64)
o x60s laptop (i386)
* *observed problem:*
o network aka "the internet" (like ping 1.1.1.1) works at the
beginning
o then it loses network connection (on all nics even wifi)
o *and setup will fail ***before "software selection" screen* with
screenshots that can be seen here*

+ got isos from
herehttps://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/debian-cd/11.0.0/
<https://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/debian-cd/11.0.0/>
# did the sha512sum -c on all downloaded isos (so it ain't
a download corruption problem)
*S1: (suggestion1) there needs to be an easy way to report errors*
S.1.) include a "report problem" button, that automatic generates a
report to store away any error logs (and dmesg) that is generated during
the setup on a usb drive, for easy upload to
https://debian.org/report-a-problem <https://debian.org/report-problem>
or:
S2.) (even better if network works) include a "report problem" button,
that automatic generates a report and uploads it to debian.org for
further investigation (easily accessible as a link like
https://debian.org/errors/report/2021-08-17_11-57_lenovo_x60s_128903786351782539
<https://debian.org/errors/x60s-128903786351782539>)
*Q1: (question1): why is there nor vi nor less included in the setup?*
makes debugging things very very hard
please checkout this wonderful script that should run on some console
during setup per default

<https://dwaves.de/2017/06/15/linux-monitor-all-logs-in-real-time-d-follow-all-show-changes-to-log-files-under-varlog/>
which would display all errors (currently via ccze) nicely in *RED*
*for easy visual detection of problems*
