As far as the non-graphical installer goes: I consider it a featue not a bug - a graphical installer really only looks better but doesn't give additioanl functionality or ease of use. And surely, a non-grphical installer is way more frugal regarding resources - think people in less privileged countries. I'll try to avoid the old hat stuff like vicious circle for apt or outdated kernel. The things I consider most severe are makred with '*', the rest is '-'. At the end are a few remarks regarding testing in general. Although not part of d-i, I thought I mention them because they had a lage impact on my installation experience... Initial install from CD: - 'Detecting hardware' runs *three* times all in all. Can't we bring that down to 1? (Maybe the fact that I don't have a floopy is responsible.) - name server should default to gateway rather than being blank IMHO (if no DHCP) - the hostname is being asked for twice, not good - domain not asked for, not good * there is no feedback during filesystem and mountpoint creation, not good ('Creating filesystems and mount points - please, stand by' would suffice) * there is no possibility to do a badblock scan of the HDD, not good - 'Installing base system' stops at 75% and finishes, cosmetic but irritating - 'Installing extra packages' stops at 66% and finishes, cosmetic but irritating (less than above because quicker) - install does not try/offer to setup Australian Telstra Bigpond cable modem via bpalogin (yeah, might only be me but than again not...) After reboot: * I get a message saying: Invalid hostname "aurich3" and some blurb - aurich3 is definitely a perfectly valid hostname! - hotplug is not part of CD - I'm surprised, there's is probablt a reason, though * lilo config should default to offering choice so that people can specifiy things like 'single' After installation: * the X windows packages are terribly outdated - there is no excuse for this! * configuration of xserver-xfree86 should really offer [EMAIL PROTECTED] (because that's what I use ;-) and so do many others - better 17" TFT) * X windows is still not working for me, I finally get a graphical screen, the mouse is working, *the keyboboard isn't* and I can't even boot into single mode to examine the situation - cf. above regarding lilo setup (yeah, I can boot the Installation CD in rescue mode I suppose) My system is more than a year old! - why is gdm not part of the gnome package (I have selected gnome in dselect)? - time is messed up - many outdated packages: postfix 2.0.16, mozilla 1.5, xsane 0.91, X,... - Question: Do you want set up mandb setuid man? Explanation: nothing <doh> - had to speciify the paper size twice and so forth... Bottom line: Debian is truely great (tried RedHat, Mandrake, Suse) - but still only for the initiated - not read for the average desktop user :-( -- Andree Leidenfrost Sydney - Australia --------------------------------------- Received: (at 231105-close) by bugs.debian.org; 3 Apr 2004 06:38:02 +0000 >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Apr 02 22:38:02 2004 Return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: from newraff.debian.org [208.185.25.31] (mail) by spohr.debian.org with esmtp (Exim 3.35 1 (Debian)) id 1B9en4-0007NE-00; Fri, 02 Apr 2004 22:38:02 -0800 Received: from katie by newraff.debian.org with local (Exim 3.35 1 (Debian)) id 1B9ehI-0007jJ-00; Sat, 03 Apr 2004 01:32:04 -0500 From: Joey Hess <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Katie: $Revision: 1.46 $ Subject: Bug#231105: fixed in ddetect 0.81 Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sender: Archive Administrator <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sat, 03 Apr 2004 01:32:04 -0500 Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.60-bugs.debian.org_2004_03_25 (1.212-2003-09-23-exp) on spohr.debian.org X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-5.0 required=4.0 tests=BAYES_00,HAS_BUG_NUMBER autolearn=no version=2.60-bugs.debian.org_2004_03_25 X-Spam-Level: Source: ddetect Source-Version: 0.81 We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of ddetect, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive: archdetect_0.81_i386.udeb to pool/main/d/ddetect/archdetect_0.81_i386.udeb ddetect_0.81.dsc to pool/main/d/ddetect/ddetect_0.81.dsc ddetect_0.81.tar.gz to pool/main/d/ddetect/ddetect_0.81.tar.gz ethdetect_0.81_all.udeb to pool/main/d/ddetect/ethdetect_0.81_all.udeb hw-detect-full_0.81_all.udeb to pool/main/d/ddetect/hw-detect-full_0.81_all.udeb hw-detect_0.81_all.udeb to pool/main/d/ddetect/hw-detect_0.81_all.udeb A summary of the changes between this version and the previous one is attached.

If it is, it will use that template as the title for the progress bar. This allows for cusomised progress bars during the different hardware detection steps. Of course, it's kinda a gyp because hw-detect still loads all the modules it can in each pass. - ethdetect passes a custom title, as does hw-detect-full (so do cdrom-detect and iso-scan).
