Package: installation-reports Debian-installer-version: Sarge netinst image ("official", from 2004-11-21) from debian.org, 2005-02-18 uname -a: Linux coruja 2.6.8-1-386 #1 Thu Nov 11 12:18:43 EST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux Date: 2005-02-19, all day Method: I booted from the netinstall CD and began installation with linux26. All choices were made, but everything stopped at 61% of the base-install. So I started again, this time with linux24. Everything went fine, but on the 'smoke test' the computer booted continuously. So once more I started over, this time with expert26, and I could boot to my fresh sarge. But the problems weren't over: I could not install any packages from the internet because my ISP has a web-based authentication (pppoe-conf worked just fine), and the netinstall cd has no javascript-enabled browser. So I had to reboot with a knoppix cd and download curl and its dependencies to <How did you install? What did you boot off? If network install, from where? Proxied?>

All choices were made, but everything stopped (freeze) at 61% of the base-install. So I started again, this time with linux24. Everything went fine, but on the 'smoke test' the computer booted continuously. So once more I started over, this time with expert26, and I could boot to my fresh sarge. But the problems weren't over: I could not install any packages from the internet because my ISP has a web-based authentication (pppoe-conf worked just fine), and the netinstall cd has no javascript-enabled browser. So I had to reboot with a knoppix cd and download curl and its dependencies to use a work-around script. After the install of my packages, I still had a lot of problems, but I don't know if they are related to the installer: my first install of kde didn't work (freeze after login in kdm or startx), but I just uninstalled and reinstalled and it worked. And I had nothing in my /etc/network/interfaces file, not even the loopback device! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
