I´ve tried the Sarge one on the testing maschine, and it seems to work well except for that it doesn´t detect the on-board network card. But I don´t mind that since the maschine I want to install it on has a NIC that will be recognized; and once installed, I´ll compile a kernel anyway. So I should be fine with older installer :) Meanwhile, I have become unsure if I should switch. It seems I might get into troubles I don´t want to have. Hmmm ...

todays installer is still broken
Hi, I´m trying todays installer[1], and it´s still broken. When installing the base system, it pops up an error message: The debootstrap program exited with an error (return value 1). Check /var/log/syslog ... There´s a message on console 3 saying chroot: cannot execute mount: No such file or directory When you look up /target/bin, there´s actually no mount. I manually copied over everything from /bin to /target/bin and selected to install the base system again from the installer menu to the unclean target. During the install, there are some messages in the progress window saying something about required packages that cannot be unpacked, but they disappear to quickly to be read. The process continues until it asks which kernel image should be installed. The linux-image-2.6-amd64-generic is the default which I choose (BTW, what´s the difference between the two images?). It then says: An error was returned while trying to install the initrd-tools package onto the target system ... On console 3, errors for the following packages are reported: sed wget lsb-base console-common netbase initscripts module-init-tools console-tools sysvinit modutils I have saved the logfiles and can mail them, but they are rather large. Let me know if they would be helpful, and I´ll mail them. [1]: http://www.us.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ GH -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

The normal sarge installer seems not to be available for amd64. I´ve currently a testing machine at hand for maybe a few days, so it´s a good time to check things out.

These appear to be very helpful :) Which installer image is recommended? The one from http://tinyplanet.ca/~lsorense/amd64/ seems to be newer than what´s on http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/sarge-amd64/iso-cd/. BTW, how are users supposed to find these pages/installers? Docs on debian.org only point to the non-working installers.
