This certainly comes from the following: user-setup (1.30) unstable; urgency=low [ Petter Reinholdtsen ] * Move main-menu item before partitioning and installation of the base system, to get more questions earlier during installation. This mail will create the bug report. I assign it to user-setup, though it might become needed to reassign it to rescue and try to deal with that in this package. signature.asc Description: Digital signature --- End Message --- --- Begin Message --- Version: 1.32 This bug was fixed in user-setup 1.32. -- signature.asc Description: Digital signature --- End Message ---
