 Yes that package is installed. Is that good or bad?

 If it is installed it will try to use kexec to reboot the system. This
 does not work on all computers. Remove the package and try again?

Bug#640677: installation-reports: Default user not in the sudoerfs file after standard install

2011-09-07 Thread dryphi
I'd be happy to help.
I could volunteer to make suggestions about reorganizing the website
to make it easier for new people to find what they need.
And I'd be more than happy to go through the installer and make
recommendations as to which steps could be explained a little better,
which gave me trouble, etc.

Also, this bug should be fixed in the stable repo asap if it hasn't already:
http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic/14634  (see last post).
It's an easy fix, just one line of code. That gave me much trouble
after installing + full update / upgrade of the stable, when trying
attempting to switch to testing repo for Xfce 4.8.

 As for WEP versus WPA, no idea.  I have only ever done installs using
 wired ethernet.  Wifi is too flacky for me to trust for an installation
 where a network outage could make you have to start over.


 WPA is activated (but not yet widely tested) in the installer for the
 next Debian version, not in the stable installer.

 Not commenting about people giving us lessons about hey this is
 2011, except the usual comment:  patches welcome. We are well aware
 that the stable D-I has no WPA support...just because nobody pushed
 this to its end during the development of D-I for squeeze. We're not
 magicians: features are not implemented just because someone wishes
 them.


 Another comment about the user rights part of this installation
 report: man su. Using sudo is not the default behaviour for
 administrative access on *nix machines. It is indeed possible if the root
 account is indeed deactivated, just like Lennart mentioned. It is also
 possible to choose this behaviour in expert installs.
