cdrom-detect calls hw-detect to load the kernel modules. If this
fails, I would assume it is a bug with the kernel module, not with the
script trying to load the module, but it is definitely not a bug in
the script calling the script (ie cdrom-detect), so I am re

When a disk is formated, no progress bar is shown.
When I went into partconf and then straight back, I got the following
error: partconf's postinst exited with status 7680
I didn't need to format any partitions since I've done that before,

I tried debian-installer on a laptop today which doesn't have an

Hi,
I tested cvs b-f a couple of days ago, ia64 network and cd installs
(both on vga), and hppa network install on serial. All three installs

I also build ia64 on woody, which seemed ok too.

The best site for me is ftp.debian.org followed by a number of European
