The first installation attempt was based on the CD-add-on of Heike Jurzig Debian Handbook for SQUEEZE. It failed to boot after one line of text output. The CD proved to be defective, since the error popped up on several computers PANASONIC CF-72. The second installation attempt made use of a DEBIAN SQUEEZE live CD for boot; it ended up with a working desktop, however without unser control of the network (DHCP, router). The internet mirror system worked flawlessly during system program boot! The third installation attempt made use of the first CD of a set of 8 plus above live CD. It delivered a working system with internet control, without any glitch during system boot. Graphic boot procedure was selected for commonality with Heike Jurtzigs Handbook. A very first and preliminary boot attempt was made with the same CD; there I learnt, that a piece of firmware e100/d100m_ucode.bin was missing. I had to investigate where to find it, and how to prepare it for the USB-stick for acceptance by the boot process of the network driver. I browsed in the DEBIAN reports to get appropriate hints. It would have been a snap to note: "firmware/e100/d100m_ucode.bin" has to be on your USB-stick during the network driver boot process. The defective CD add-on and the failure on the live CD, and the learning procedure on missing driver code cost me about one week to install a rather nice DEBIAN SQUEEZE, still without WLAN and audio or video presentation. As compared to the UBUNTU 10.4.4 stuff, this is almost unacceptable... 2 hours, and it works! I decided for DEBIAN SQUEEZE because of the recent UBUNTU 12.4 LTS requirements beyond my rather old notebook CPU and small RAM. I hope, that I will not live the same lecture with the SQUEEZE successor package next year! Kind regards, and compliments for a wonderful piece of free SW! Thank you! Gerrit Plümecke

--- Begin Message ---Hi, thank you for submitting installation reports, much appreciated. I read through all the bugs mentioned here (and I'm sure they were read by several people at the time they were submitted) and am closing them now as/if - they (finally) indicated success and/or - I know from first hand experience that the functionality is working in Wheezy and/or - they only contained very little information and/or - they contained user errors and/or - they were caused by broken hardware and/or - they have been from a development phase where things were not stable and/or - they are quite old (and thus likely fixed today) and/or - moreinfo was asked and not given. If I've closed a bug incorrectly please do reply (it's easy to reopen and I'll do if requested) or just file a new one - thats often better, as the bug log will be clearer and shorter and not contain cruft. cheers, Holgersignature.asc
