Bug#399737: Installation Report - Etch RC1 DVD does not install Desktop

Perhaps it is something to do with the fact that I am using a 20GB LV for /, but also configure a small (100MB) ordinary linux 0x83 partition for boot? Is there something I can check before leaving the installer and rebooting? If the desktop task is selected X and Gnome should be installed, a separate boot partition makes no difference and 20GB is plenty for a desktop installation. Please send us (gzipped) the syslog for the installation, which can be found in /var/log/installer on the installed system. pgpx6UeJjmZQl.pgp Description: PGP signature

Had to click to raid section, do nothing but return to partitioner to see software raidsets, then had to click LVM and do nothing but return to partitioner to see LVs. This is a known issue. Display LVs in the LVM section of partitioning does not display all LVs. See list above. Need scrolling window here. Could you provide a screenshot for this and explain exactly what is missing? Windows should become scrollable automatically when the data exceeds the size of the window. Reboot: Booted to logon prompt ok, but no X. Had to apt-install xserver-xorg and Gnome to get desktop even tho all should have been on the DVD. During the installation you are presented with a list of tasks that can be selected. Are you sure you selected the Desktop task for installation? That should have given you both XOrg and GNOME. We test this extensively before release and are fairly sure it works correctly. The task may not be selected by default depending on the characteristics of your system (e.g. partition sizes). They gui install is getting there, would like to see less of a gui like text install and more gui with drop down menus, selection lists, radio buttons to select items instead of clicking on full lines of options, etc. Yes, this is a first step. We hope to find developers interested in making it more graphical, though without adding too many frills and whistles and trying to avoid really major diversions between the textual and graphical installers. Thank you very much for your report. Cheers, FJP pgpPfvQh7ywfp.pgp Description: PGP signature

Will provide a screenshot after Thanksgiving. Getting ready to leave town and do a turkey at my daughter's. Basically, I have a test system currently with 22 LVs and only about 11 are shown.
