Hmmm. I've seen similar behavior while we were working on the graphical installer and in that case it was a problem/conflict with the initialization of the mouse. See http://bugs.debian.org/403329 for reference. However, that issue was solved. Can you try booting the installer with 'installgui DEBIAN_FRONTEND=newt', switch to VT2 when the first dialog comes up [1] and then give us the output of the following commands: - cat /proc/bus/input/devices - ls -l /dev/input - dfbinfo Reassigning to cdebconf-gtk until we can get a better handle on this issue. > That said, the text installer worked well and, I am very gratified to > say that this was the most error-free config-perfect linux installation > I've ever enjoyed. Great work to all involved! Thank you! Cheers, FJP [1] You can also run the first steps of the installation first until you have set up networking; that may make it easier to get the requested information off the system. scp is available if you load the optional component "openssh-client"; the menu option "save debug logs" may help as well. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
