Proposal for languagechooser and language list
First of all, sorry for just putting ideas in this mail and not propose any implementation. I'm afraid my skills are too low for proposing anything but really bad code. Not speaking of time lacking..:-) The current language list (which is the very first prompt a user sees when installing Debian) is not really satisfactory (imho, of course). The list is alphabetically sorted with all choices being translation of the english sentence Choose this to proceed in xx Thus, hungarian comes first (because of its leading A), then french variants (because I translated as Choisissez which comes before Choose) and so on... There were a few proposals recently for changing this to simpler choices, for instance only language names. The variants also induce some confusion by macking the list a bit too long. Here are my proposal : -change this to a 2 stage process : first choose the language (e.g. Français). Then choose the country variant (is Français is chosen, the user chooses between Belgique, Canada, France, Luxembourg, Suisse) -simplfy the sentence : just keep the language names (translated, just like they currently are) -find a rule for sorting languages : -English (which is the default) should come first -Sort other languages. Below are some proposals: -alphabetically (not easy : where should double-byte languages go?) -by translation status in Debian: -first sorting key--translation status for d-i -second sorting key--combination of translation status for debconf templates and programs translations (by using http://www.debian.org/intl/l10n/ pages when they will be updated again -by numbers of people speaking these languages in the world. Many references may be found on this topic. For instance, by googling a bit, I found http://www.photius.com/rankings/languages2.html: -Chinese, Mandarin -Spanish -English -Arabic -Bengali -Hindi -Portuguese -Russian -Japanese -German -Chinese, Wu -Javanese -Korean -French -Turkish -Vietnamese .../... we have 50 languages listed This reference is an ethnological reference which lists the number of people *really* speaking the given language. This is not a sum of the populations of countries for which the given language is among the official languages of the country (I found that statistic also, but only for the Top10 languages : http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0775272.html#A0774735) Does somebody have comments on this? If the 2 stage process is agreed, we will need someone for implementing it in languagechooser. Joey, Petter, Tollef, you have for sure a valuable opinion on this as you are listed as the major contributors for languagechooser... -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Minor problems with the installer
I'm sorry for the delay in answering your installation report. As fas as I can see, nobody else did yet, so here goes.. Oliver Gerlich wrote: Hello, a few days ago I installed Debian Sarge using the netinst ISO files. Besides some problems with booting from CD (I think my CD-writer is to blame for that) the installation succeeded. But I have noticed these (minor) flaws: - How do I install without DHCP? My PC is behind a router without DHCP (IPs and everything is configured by hand). But the installer tried to detect a DHCP server again and again. In the end I set up a DHCP on the router to get the installetion working. I remember that the Woody installer let me type in my configuration by hand. Actually, the version you used does let you do that, you just have to find the manual network configuration menu item, and after you do that it will stop the annoying dhcp stuff. This is fixed better in the daily d-i builds. They will try dhcp for 10 seconds, and then make it very easy for you to go on and do a manual configuration if dhcp didn't work. - The cursor keys for the Previous and Forward (Zurück and Weiter in german) buttons are interchanged, at least on the first reboot-dialog. That means that the arrow-right keys selects the Previous button and vice versa. (I used the Dialog installer). Fixed in the daily builds. - Selecting the right installation source was a bit misleading. Initially the CDROM was selected as install source - I wanted to do a netinstall and only had the small ISO image. And when there appeared a dialog asking if I wanted to add other APT-sources I didn't know that there weren't any servers selected so far, so I said No. Only when tasksel didn't show me very much I realized that I should have added some sources in the beginning. Good observation. This is fixed in my tree for base-config 2.01 and will enter the distribution soon. Newer versions of base-config also let you back out from most points and get a menu of choices, which would have let you revisit apt setup. And after the installation I saw that unnecessarily the CD was still in the apt-conf file, and that the contrib and non-free entries were missing. The installation should at least indicate this. I'm not sure if removing the entry for the netinst CD is worth the bother. Does it cause problems? The installer does not bother with non-free any more, unless you do a expert mode (DEBCONF_PRIORITY=low) install. There is so little reason to use non-free that it does not bother me to make those who want it go a little out of their way to get it, like they have to for any other non-debian apt repository. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Unfortunately it does not give anything. I think you'll find that link is working now. We're still in the process of restoring services after the recent security breach of the Debian servers. 2. Guessing name of the first boot diskette was easy. 2. took some time. If first diskette asks for 2. boot floppy, there should be a file bootfloppy2.img (or something like it). Rootfloppy.img would also be good name, but then boot floppy should ask for it. The INSTALLATION-HOWTO makes it much easier, but we do plan to rename these images, particularly the badly named floppy image, in the future. 3. I wanted to install from network. Two boot floppies found network interface from Epox 8K9A71 motherboard. Everything went well until installer wanted to configure CD-drive. Installer refused to believe that there is no CD-drive! I can get debs from local network easier than from CD, so I didn't install a CD drive. I was able to finish installation by selecting next installation step from the menu. After each step installer wanted to configure non existing CD. This is a known problem that's on our list to fix. 4. Keyboard configuration was easy as usual. Unfortunately after first boot Debian had forgotten that I don't have US keyboard. This is a base-config bug, and is fixed in the version of base-config in unstable. I'm not sure if that version of base-config has made it to testing yet, but it will eventually. 5. An old problem: I usually make a 'small' root partition. (currently it should be about 150 MB, my first Linux computer had total 80 MB disk space.) This computer had relatively small disk, so I made only / /usr. I should have made symlinks /var - /usr/var ... I forget that while trying to configure non existing CD, so I run out of disk space. Tasksel did hide the error message so I had to use old reliable dselect. It told immediately what is the problem. Fix was easy. Perhaps installer could check the size of / and if it is small and not all big partition were made, ask user where /var should be moved (same with /usr, /home, /tmp). How exactly did tasksel hide the error message? I don't think that having the installer make symlinks would be very good. It would be good if it tried to ensure that the disk sizes were sane, but of course different people's definitions of sane varies in this area. Result was working system. Network and sound drivers were found automatically. Good deal, you should fill out the installation report template you'll find in /root, and file a proper install report with that template that includes the hardware you installed to so we can track it. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Re: Debian Installer: Install Falls
Hi, you filed three reports of apparently three different installs to the same laptop, and reported hangs at three different places: #1 while running fdisk, which could not see your drive #2 while performing a usb-discover, apparently in the middle of downloading d-i components from the net; except usb-discover should not be downloaded then, and would not be run; it is run while the installer boots up long before that #3 just after loading the driver for your network card, which apparently failed, and then it hung This leaves me wondering what exactly you mean by the installer hanging. Is it completly frozen, so that caps lock and num lock cannot be turned off or on, and nothing you type has an effect, even alt-f2 to switch virtual consoles? Or is this some other variety of problem? Do you get a kernel oops message on the screen? Having three kernel crashes at the three spots you described would be most strange. In install #1 you got way past where you did in #2, which is in turn quite further than #3. The three actions the installer would be performing at those three points are quite different, and do not even involve the same hardware in #1 as in #2 and #3. It also should not even really be accessing hardware in #1 and #3, as you describe it as just displaying an error message after an attempt to access the hardware hung. It's possible that the kernel just likes to hang on your laptop after X minutes of uptime, or semi-randomly, of course. Without more information, it's unlikely anyone can help. - Where did you get the daily version of the installer that you are using, and what was the build date? - Was there anything else different between the three installation attempts besides the different means you used to boot the installer? - What exactly was on the screen during hang #2? - Can you reproduce any of these hangs, or does it hang in other strange and unlikly places? - Can you boot up the installer, and, before it hangs, use the second virtual console to write a copy of the dmesg output to a floppy, and send it to us? - If you can reproduce any of the hangs, then right before you know it's going to hang, press alt-f4 to switch to the virtual console displaying the logs. Watch the logs, and right after it's hung, copy down the last three or four lines of information for us. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

You need to boot in expert mode, with DEBCONF_PRIORITY=low added to the boot line at the boot prompt, then you'll be able to tell it to skip dhcp and do a manual entry. I think that not noticing that dhcp didn't provide a hostname, and not prompting manually for one is a bug in our netcfg program.

I have also seen this with my new test laptop (kindly provided courtesy of Linux Certified, Inc, plug plug), but more data points would be good.

Second, I was asked some questions about where to instll LILO and then presented with a screen that allowed me to install GRUB, which was my preference, so why question about LILO? Sounds like someone dropped to low priority and got confused.. How could we make it less confusing, I wonder? Third, GRUB was setup wrong and I had to edit it in order to boot.

Re: Proposal for languagechooser and language list
On Sun, Dec 14, 2003 at 10:48:57AM +0100, Christian Perrier wrote:
First of all, sorry for just putting ideas in this mail and not
propose any implementation. I'm afraid my skills are too low for
proposing anything but really bad code. Not speaking of time
lacking..:-)
The current language list (which is the very first prompt a user
sees when installing Debian) is not really satisfactory (imho, of
course).
The list is alphabetically sorted with all choices being translation
of the english sentence Choose this to proceed in xx
Thus, hungarian comes first (because of its leading A), then french
variants (because I translated as Choisissez which comes before
Choose) and so on...
There were a few proposals recently for changing this to simpler
choices, for instance only language names.
The variants also induce some confusion by macking the list a bit too
long.
Here are my proposal :
-change this to a 2 stage process : first choose the language
(e.g. Français). Then choose the country variant (is Français is
chosen, the user chooses between Belgique, Canada, France, Luxembourg,
Suisse)
I don't think a two-stage selection is all that necessary. That seems
like added complexity for little benefit; the list is only made a little
longer by including all locales in a single list, and the fewer
questions the better.
-simplfy the sentence : just keep the language names (translated, just
like they currently are)
Of course, the counterargument is that we can't expect the debconf
question itself to be usefully localized; so the user may understand
their language name, but without the complete sentence there may be
greater confusion as to the application of the language. Does it apply
to the installer only? To the default system locale once installed? To
the keyboard? Then again, I'm not sure the answers to these questions
are all that obvious even /with/ the current sentence. :)
-find a rule for sorting languages :
-English (which is the default) should come first
As long as this refers to the C locale (which would also be first if
sorted alphabetically by locale name -- using the C locale's sort rules,
that is :), that seems ok. If it's en_US or en_UK people are after,
those ought to be sorted like everything else. In which case, I think
the label for the C locale ought to be international English, for
clarity.
-Sort other languages. Below are some proposals:
-alphabetically (not easy : where should double-byte languages go?)
-by translation status in Debian:
-first sorting key--translation status for d-i
-second sorting key--combination of translation status for
debconf templates and programs translations (by using
http://www.debian.org/intl/l10n/ pages when they will be
updated again
-by numbers of people speaking these languages in the world. Many
references may be found on this topic. For instance, by googling
a bit, I found http://www.photius.com/rankings/languages2.html:
-Chinese, Mandarin
-Spanish
-English
-Arabic
-Bengali
-Hindi
-Portuguese
-Russian
-Japanese
-German
-Chinese, Wu
-Javanese
-Korean
-French
-Turkish
-Vietnamese
.../... we have 50 languages listed
This reference is an ethnological reference which lists the
number of people *really* speaking the given language. This
is not a sum of the populations of countries for which
the given language is among the official languages of the
country (I found that statistic also, but only for the Top10
languages : http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0775272.html#A0774735)
Does somebody have comments on this?
I believe that the most useful sort order for a user *trying to find his
language in the list* is alphabetically by locale code, with locale
codes listed explicitly in front of the translation. Most ISO locale
codes are derived from the language's own name for itself, so assuming
at least basic familiarity with Latin sort order, this would seem to be
the biggest UI win for the most users.
CJK is an exception; not only are speakers of CJK languages least likely
to be familiar with Latin sort order, their language codes are less
likely to correspond to the native name for the language. ('ja' for
Japanese comes from the Western name for the language, as does 'ko' for
Korean, IIRC; and I'm not sure of the derivation of 'zh' for Chinese.)
If someone can think of a sort algorithm that would better serve CJK
users without compromising the utility to the users of the much more
numerous (and harder to identify at a glance) Latin locales, I'd be
interested to hear it.
Sorting by translation status in Debian is only useful to the user if he
*knows* that's the reason for the sort order. Otherwise, he's just
going to get frustrated trying to find his

I've never used PXE, but I was under the impression that PXE needs its own bootloader, distinct from mknbi, to tag the image. man mknbi mentions PXELINUX in that context... As I understand it, PXELINUX is executed BY THE CLIENT, as the first (or second, depending on how you see it) stage in the pxe boot process. I might be totally off here, since I have never used pxe, but that is how I make sense of the procedure described here: http://lists.debian.org/debian-testing/2003/debian-testing-200311/msg00098.html etherboot and pxe seem to differ at the moment where tagging is done. For etherboot, it is done on the server by mknbi-linux prior to booting, for pxe it is done at boot-time by pxelinux running at the client using a config file which is hosted by the server. The info about kernel options needed will be given as command line arguments to mknbi, or in the case of pxe, be written to a config file. People willing to try to netboot (x86 clients) into debian-installer, would likely be familiar with either pxe or etherboot and the information in http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2003/debian-boot-200312/msg00507.html and yours earlier in this thread is probably sufficient.

my experiences withthe new Debian installer
it's a significant improvement of the previous version however installation process is still very expert friendly. I highly recommend taking a look at the xandros install process. Half a dozen steps and you have a usable system. Issues: If you do not have an ethernet cable plug-in during DHCP address acquisition, retrying with a cable plugged in does not acquire an address. Disk formatting process is still quite expert friendly. The two-step process of allocating storage and choosing a file system followed by choosing a file system is disconcerting the first time one encounters it. One should just allocate storage then choose a file system is a second step or, preferably do everything in one screen namely allocate storage, choose file system type, choose mount point. On the screen configure and mount partitions, it does not show the partitions I created in the previous step. It shows the NTFS partition, selling determined partition rather than the Linux and Linux swap partitions I had created. the subsequent interface flow selecting file system and mount point is quite nice. any way of making the allocation process part of this flow? enabling shadow passwords question is expert friendly but if there's ever a streamlined path, just assume a yes. the X11 install is still as (un)friendly as ever. I have been spoiled by the likes of Xandros and Windows because they just figure out what video card is present without requiring someone to pull the top of the system, and intuit video card profile from either the remnants of silkscreening or an FCC ID number. Remember, I'm using a Frankenstein box here. My selection process for video card was minimum dust and a 15 pin connector on the back that fits a video cable. I don't believe my junk box has a video card that was manufactured before 1997. And yes, Windows 2000 and Xandros both properly identified the card but, bright person that I am, I forgot to it write down. so now I have my boot prompt, X doesn't run because I didn't even try to get the settings right. My overall impression is that the new installer is an improvement over the previous one. And for that, people are to be thanked. On the downside, there are still way too many decisions to be made. The vast majority of them are minutia that makes a difference to a very small segment of the population and drives everyone else crazy. Personally, I would be happy with a 15 (give or take) step install which asks the basic questions of network configuration(DHCP/static), partitioning disk (how many, how much for each one, format, and mount point), which packages would I like to start with, root password and go-don't bother me until you are done. for me, an install should be 15 minutes of questions and answers and then I should hear nothing from the process or need to pay any attention to it it is done. Again, I think you have made a significant improvement. I know how difficult it is to sometimes make the amount of change necessary happened on volunteer efforts. You have done good and please don't let my criticisms detract from that. I'm looking forward to trying out the next beta. ---eric -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

See other debconf templates polishing BRs for boot loader installers.
Apart from the usual changes, I added the following one :
- There were no suitable partitions found for elilo to use. elilo needs
+ There were no suitable partitions found for elilo to use. Elilo needs
^
Not sure for English, but in French all sentences should start by a capital
letter. So I guess it's the same in English.

Trying to boot after Debian installer ran
I have run the debian installer, installed a base system, chose the default LILO install choice. The installer did NOT wright (I watched the drive light to verify this, it SHOULD have written) to the disk, system re-booted. I have mounted the Debian partitions to examine them. Debian root = hdb6 with /boot as a sub dir. Here is the contents of Debian /boot: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mnt/Debianboot/boot$ ls -l total 4568 -rw-r--r--1 root root 518609 Oct 3 23:59 System.map-2.4.22-1-386 -rw-r--r--1 root root 512 Dec 14 09:46 boot.0340 -rw-r--r--1 root root42261 Sep 27 03:17 config-2.4.22-1-386 -rw-r--r--1 root root 3264512 Dec 14 09:45 initrd.img-2.4.22-1-386 -rw---1 root root53760 Dec 14 09:46 map -rw-r--r--1 root root 769886 Oct 3 23:59 vmlinuz-2.4.22-1-386 Here is my grub menu.lst: titleLibranet GNU/Linux, kernel 2.4.23 NEW root(hd0,5) kernel/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.23 root=/dev/hda6 ro hdc=scsi hdd=scsi vga=792 savedefault boot titleLibranet GNU/Linux, kernel 2.4.23 (single user mode) root(hd0,5) kernel/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.23 root=/dev/hda6 ro hdc=scsi hdd=scsi single savedefault boot titleDebian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.4.22-1-386 root(hd1,5) kernel/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22-1-386 root=/dev/hdb6 ro hdc=scsi hdd=scsi savedefault boot The above Debain GNU/Linux entry will boot, but stops with an error message cant find image, please amend root= entry to the correct root image or words to that effect.

I have removed the hdc=scsi entries. I have changed values for (hd1,5) and /dev/hdb6 on the chance that my understanding was flawed. I have found a different source for the iso image and downloaded/burned/loaded it. The Installer worked very well, except it seems to fail in allowing me access to my new shiny base system!!! Talk about security! The distro was sarge, ext3 was chosen for file systems, hdb6 /, hdb7 /home, hdb5 /var (as reiserfs).
