Package: debian-40r3-sparc-CD-1.iso installation-reports Boot method: Installing CD #1 over 9600 modem (not finished) Image version: debian-40r3-sparc-CD-1.iso Date: 27.02.08
Machine: SUN Enterprise 420R Processor: 4x450 Memory: 3GBy Partitions: some Debian Partitioning proposed by the installer Output of lspci -nn and lspci -vnn: ??? Base System Installation Checklist: [E] = Error Initial boot: [ok] Detect network card: [yes 2x, also USBs and AUX] Configure network: [should be auto-DHCP but no success] Detect CD: [yes] Load installer modules: [yes] Detect hard drives: [yes] Partition hard drives: [yes] Install base system: [no] Clock/timezone setup: [? only US proposed] User/password setup: [E "2 times wrong"] Install tasks: [no] Install boot loader: [no] Overall install: [aborted by operator] Comments/Problems: I tried to install over the serial - modem line. After 9 hours (!) of mousing arround and getting more and more slower, the installer said: " This could lead to an unbootable system" and then "Password 2 times wrong". - then I aborted. > This System has no screen and no DVD, so I think it is a good idea to install CD #1 over a simple 9600-Modem line but the installer has to many screen-codes. <Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments and ideas you had during the initial install.> I think the user-friendlyness has its limits. Is there anybody who really wants a "save", "friendly" and "guided" installation process to install Debian on an enterprise - server?
