RE: Problems/Bugs installing via CD and qemu on native hw

[Zimmermann, Benjamin (K-SIOI/62)]

Hello Philipp,

I cannot find /var/log/installer:
~ # ls -1 /var/log/
partman
syslog
~ # ls -1 /target/var/log/
alternatives.log
apt
btmp
dpkg.log
faillog
lastlog
wtmp

Is there some other place I should take a look at?
Or will posting /var/syslog be enough?

Regards,
Ben.

Please file a bug against debian-installer (reportbug has a template) and 
attach the installer's syslog (or optimally all of /var/log/installer).

My fault, typed wrong number while 'hiding' real addresses.
