Hello Adrian,
could you please be more specific about a few points?
- what installer ISO did you use
- did you use the text or graphical installer
- what was the error message or what failed or happened exactly that
stopped the installation
I wasn't able to reproduce your problem in VirtualBox using the
network installation ISO
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/8.2.0/i386/iso-cd/debian-8.2.0-i386-netinst.iso
and with almost all the default choices with the excpetion of these
prompts
- Full name of new user: "Adrian O'Dell"
- user name: "adrian"
I understand that you may not feel like reading a large page of text
if you are in a hurry or feel you may not understand it. However, the
Debian and other open-source projects keep living thanks to
individuals like you that go the extra mile, devote some time to the
cause and are willing to learn new things. Please consider supporting
Debian (and through it all other projects based on it, including Linux
Mint) through your extra effort in filing bug reports when needed.
Kind regards,
Ondřej Grover

There appears to be a bug which has Plagued me for years. Oddly I
don't have the bug in Linux Mint. Did they edit this part of the
installer?
My name contains an apostrophe, which causes the Debian installer
to not create my user account. Long time ago when I tried to seek
help via IRC was told I must have done something wrong. Two days
ago I confirmed through multiple installs that the apostrophe is
the culprit.
This is the only attempt I will make at filing a bug report.
Anyone more familiar with filing a bug report, it would be greatly
appreciated if you would make sure it gets filed properly so it
may be resolved. https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting is an ugly
wall of text which immediately discouraged me from wanting to file
a bug report anymore.
Thanks.
I agree with the topic starter: the Debian's bug reporting process is
horrible and not userfriendly from user's viewpoint. If an organization
cares about usability and effectiveness of bug reporting process, it
shouldn't be like that.
