I agree with Sven, debian-installer issues should be reported to debian-boot, where the developer of d-i listens. > > > It won't hurt to crosspost if we know there's a specific list for a > > > specific issue. > > > > > > But if I have to go for every specific problem - and all issues are > > > specific - to a specific list I'm sooner or later in an impossible > > > and non-manageable situation. > > > > Well, let's step into reality here, none of the debian-installer folk > > really follow this list, and when one year ago i forwarded a report of > > this kind to debian-boot, it set the events into motion which led to one > > year of flamewar and hate. > > ???? > > Sven, please: stick to the whole truth.

Pointing O.P to debian-boot and BTS of the d-i (and also the kernel list) as Sven did is not impolite, it's a good advice which enchances chance for O.P. getting help. -- Hans Ekbrand
