uname -a: I went back to the woody installer so I don't have this :-( Date: 2/20/2004 11:00 AM Method: CD-ROM install, CD-ROM boot, using installer image Machine: Dell OptiPlex GX 240 Processor: P4 1.6 GHz Memory: 768 MB Root Device: IDE Root Size/partition table: / 15 GB /boot 50 MB Output of lspci: Base System Installation Checklist: Initial boot worked: [o] Configure network HW: [o] Config network: [o] Detect CD: [o] Load installer modules: [o] Detect hard drives: [o] Partition hard drives: [o] Create file systems: [o] Mount partitions: [o] Install base system: [o] Install boot loader: [e] Reboot: [o] [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Comments/Problems: The installer installed LILO with only the Linux partition in lilo.conf. This is a multi-boot system which the woody installer did setup lilo properly to boot the other os. I found finish and continue confusing on some of the prompts. Finish what? versus continue to what? I tried both with the same results and it appeared they did the same thing. After selecting the partitioning scheme it appeared to delay for a long time until anything changed on screen. I suspect it was doing the format, or initialize like the woody installer does and shows, but this installer showed nothing, just a blue screen (brought back scary memories). Partitioning did work as I had selected, just the pause with no feedback to me was odd. After reboot and on apt setup it continued to loop over and over and not ever leaving those screens. The partitions were also named odd. Old style was /dev/hda6 What this installer reported was /deb/ide/bus/host/etc something like that which was long. If this is by design it was confusing as I expected the old school naming convention. Is this cause /dev is changing (a 2.6 thing) in favor of what is it sysfs, ordevfs? I really appreciate your efforts and like the overall feel of the installer. Great job!
