Unfortunately, given the problem description, it does not really belong to Debian Installer scope. It's very likely to be related to X as you mentioned....and the D-I team is not really expert for X. > > Here are the details. > > I had to manually configure pppoe because > - installer did not propose to configure pppoe (only ppp) > - pppoeconf launched from another virtual console did not work. > > -> edit configuration files in /etc/ppp/ and then pon dsl-provider. > > I have seen these issues earlier in the mailing list. Yes.

Happens often in default installs. This mostly pertains to a more automatic install of X....again nothing the d-i team can really do with...:-( > > > I selected a "desktop environment" during installation, and I'm using > Gnome. > > Suggestion: allow a finer-grain selection of the graphical environment > instead of full Gnome + full KDE + many applications: > - Gnome + gdm > - KDE + kdm > or maybe smaller subsets of the Gnome / KDE packages (without games, > etc.). Similarly, having both OpenOffice.org suite + Abiword and > Gnumeric seems a bit strange, IMHO. Such wish for more granularity in tasks comes quite often. This will also probably be considered post-sarge. We also need to avoid falling in too much granularity which would rapidly become unmaintainable. > The keyboard was still considered an English one in X (gdm & gnome > session) even though I chose the correct type (105 / be) during > installation.

The localization-config package is supposed to pre-configure X keyboard layout based on the locale. Which language and country choices did you made�? I guess this was French then Belgium, but I need to be sure. I this was English then Belgium...then choose French next time..:-) If this was French then Belgium, then some tweaking must be done in localization-config. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
