Comments/Problems:
Having been a Debian user for 9 years, I'm really impressed.
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I'll try to avoid the old hat stuff like vicious circle for apt or outdated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* the X windows packages are terribly outdated - there is no excuse for this!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 :-(

Maintainer: Anthony Towns <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Description:
debootstrap - Bootstrap a basic Debian system
debootstrap-udeb - Bootstrap the Debian system (udeb)
Closes: 88984 122465 131552 193134 229314 231109 244563 313383
Changes:
debootstrap (0.3.1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* sid script updated:
- Determine base dynamically (Priority: required for required packages,
Priority: important for base packages, Build-Essential: yes for buildd
variant base). (Closes: Bug#88984, Bug#193134)
- Use fine grained dpkg progress display, thanks again to Colin Watson.
(Closes: Bug#229314, Bug#231109, Bug#244563)
.
* dpkg output (etc) goes to /var/log/bootstrap.log in the target, rather
than stdout. This is probably difficult for frontends to capture
at present.
.
* Parsing of Packages file sped up. (Yay!)
.
* debootstrap.deb now arch: all (Closes: Bug#122465, Bug#131552)
- perl implementation of pkgdetails used by preference
- devices.tar.gz reduced to minimal set of devices; frontends should
setup udev or supply their own devices or similar in future
- /usr/lib/debootstrap/arch not shipped
- none of the above applies to udebs yet; though the devices.tar.gz
change will eventually
.
* Support for verifying based on Release.gpg files (--keyring). Thanks
to Colin Watson. (Closes: Bug#313383)
