Well, the devel/d-i page assumes that ppl know what are the various images. After all, these are *development* pages. If I'm correct, businesscard/netinst are documented on cdimage.debian.org so I would not see any need to redocument this in the D-I pages. Maybe put a link... After our messages, I also biefly looked in the D-I manual (http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual) for a reference...but didn't find one.

In fact, I AM installing the base system, so why proposing this > as module? I imagine live-installer means another thing, I propose to > explain better what is it. The "modules to load" part is meant for *special* installs. This is why it is not shown but in expert mode (did you use "expert" to boot). So, in short, you shouldn't pick a D-I module to load, *except if you have some specific needs*. > > - In modules to load, I have selected: eject-udeb, irda, cdrom-checker. > After configure the clock, it goes back to "Detect and mount CD-ROM" > instead of choosing the next item in the menu.

ALC883 audio codec and ALSA
Hi there. I installed Debian Etch on my acer 5102wlmi notebook yesterday, in a temporary partition (I already had Ubuntu installed, and wanted to give Debian a try because of Ubuntu' s insanely slow booting process). So, after booting, I let the system update the kernel and reboot. Working fine. When I tested the sound system, suprise! It works! For the first time in months I can record sound on my laptop. I was able to use alsamixer , and record sound from both the built-in mic and the external mic I have. Since my Ubuntu Gutsy installation was a bit too slow and misconfigured, I wiped it out, created a larger partition for Debian, and installed it with the netinst disc. But now, sound recording doesn' t work anymore. Alsamixer fails giving the message "alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: Invalid argument" , and amixer fails too. Any clues? I'm going to get the alsa source and try compiling it myself, now. TIA, -- Khristian Alexander Schönrock http://agilizando.blogspot.com - Notícias Quentinhas de Tecnologia! http://derkosak.blogspot.com - Meu blógue!

I unselect the floppy module, I say no to PCMCIA services, and the DCCP (with Ethernet) works. I am doing the installation and keep you informed. Sorry, what's the difference between netboot and netinst? Is there a Web page explaining that? At http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/ netboot is absent... I think it would be useful to explain at http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ in one sentence each of the types of boot. netboot is a very minimal image which leads you up to the network settings, then downloads all remaining components from a network mirror. netinst is a CD image that allows installing a Debian *base* system *without* the network. We all agree this is a kinda confusing name..:-) And businesscard? Can this info be put on http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer? It takes only 2-3 lines, but avoid all confusion (I imagine that many people put this question)... I can write myself these sentences if you wish. Now, pursuing the installation: - In modules to load, live-installer (Install the base system) seems bizarre. In fact, I AM installing the base system, so why proposing this as module? I imagine live-installer means another thing, I propose to explain better what is it. - In modules to load, I have selected: eject-udeb, irda, cdrom-checker. After configure the clock, it goes back to "Detect and mount CD-ROM" instead of choosing the next item in the menu. Upon ENTER, it says that "The CD-ROM drive contains a CD which cannot be used for installation..." So I go myself after "Configure the clock", i.e. to "Detect disks". After that, it goes back again to "Detect and mount CD-ROM" and I manually change again to the item after "Detect disks". - The laptop has 2GB of memory, so it creates 4GB swap. This is a kernel question, but is it really necessary to have 4GB of swap? 2GB of memory is already sufficient to execute 2 linux systems in parallel :o) My previous laptop had 512MB of RAM, and 512MB RAM + 1GB swap it is still less than 2GB of memory of current laptop.

We all agree this is a kinda confusing name..:-) signature.asc Description: Digital signature

"No kernel modules found" on today amd64
Hi, I have a MacBookPro, last version (June 2007). During installation from CD debian-testing-amd64-businesscard.iso, vesion oct7-0905UTC (today last version), md5sum d054222ff8db483c9f273015dda3d7b0: 1. I receive the following error: "Load installer components from CD: No kernel modules were found. This probably is due to a mismatch..." However, if I press yes, I choose no other component, the installation continue. 2. I have had deselected floppy during "modules to load" step, and now, during network hardware detection, it prints that the floppy kernel module was detected as matching my hardware, but I have no floppy in my laptop! Maybe there is another module which needs it? 3. The installer afterwards prints "Ethernet card not found on the system", but I have an Ethernet card in my laptop... And the installation stops by showing "... The failing step is: Detect network hardware". I can give more information very fast (today). I am very interested to install debian on this machine :o) Best regards, -- Eugen Dedu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Bug#445592: tasksel: Please update Traditional Chinese desktop task
Package: tasksel Version: 2.68 Severity: wishlist After a discussion on http://moto.debian.org.tw/viewtopic.php?p=56523#56523 We think the tasks for Traditional Chinese need following updates. For chinese-t: -zhcon Out of date, not good enough to support UTF-8 and Traditional Chinese -debian-zh-faq-t Useless, most of these faq are for Big5/GB2312 enviroment, not for UTF-8, if someone following the documment, it will broken the system. -manpages-zh Out of date(eg: the old zh manpages mentioned different license than the current english one on the system), better remove rather than confuse users. -fortune-zh This zh is only Simplified Chinese, why it in Traditional Chinese task? +quick-reference-zh-tw This is replacment for debian-zh-faq-t and also more information. For chinese-t-desktop: -rxvt-beta -mlterm -mlterm-tools -rxvt-unicode-ml We used to use a lot of different encodings, so that we need so many different terminals. But now we uses UTF-8 by default, although there still are many people(including me) likes to use these terminals, but we had gnome-terminal which installed by default already, these personal favorite terminals should go away from this task. :) -kde-i18n-zhtw Why installs this kde message on GNOME desktop? +ttf-arphic-ukai Compatiblity for document exchange. +xfonts-efont-unicode /efont/ Unicode fonts for X which cover various scripts +icedove-locale-zh-tw New package for icedove's zh-tw translation. I attached the patch for reference.
