Yes, typo

Yes, I can see the files and they all hold deb packages inside. I was
expecting a tarball holding firmware files. It took a while until I
figured out that I had to put these deb files into /firmware on my flash
drive. Probably my fault.

Everything works fine now except for ctrl-del in Nautilus driving me
nuts...

Have a nice weekend

Bug#740503: Still broken in 8.0.4

[Jan Heitkötter]

Dear Maintainer,

I'm currently running an installation from 8.0.4-amd64 CD and can
confirm that this bug still exists. I had to apply the workaround
described above to make installation work.

BTW, information in Debian Wiki  is
outdated. The text talks about tarballs, but
 only
holds .deb files.

Now watching 8.0.4 install on my venerable X61s...

Cheers

Jan

Yep.

I just tried the daily netinst iso ("daily build #5") and with this GRUB
installation works fine. :-)

Cheers

Bug#591278: debian-installer: confusing questions on GRUB installation

[Jan Heitkötter]

Package: debian-installer
Severity: minor

I installed squeeze using the netinst iso within VirtualBox. Late in the 
installation process there's some confusion about setting up GRUB. d-i 
asks me whether I want to proceed without installing GRUB. If I choose 
"No", the question plainly pop up again. If I choose "yes", d-i scans 
for other operating systems and, after that, asks me whether GRUB should 
be installed to MBR. From this point on, everything is fine.

This behaviour is rather confusing, I don't understand why it asks me 
whether to proceed without GRUB installation in the first place.

Best regards

Jan

Bug#591277: debian-installer: Root LV created awfully small

[Jan Heitkötter]

Package: debian-installer
Version: d-i
Severity: minor

I picked the netinst iso and installed Squeeze this weekend into a 
virtual machine (VirtualBox) using an 8 GB virtual hard drive. I decided 
to use LVM with seperate /home LV and had d-i decide on the LV sizes. d-i 
chose the size of the root LV to be about 2 GB, giving me just enough 
rope to hang myself. It ran out of disk space when I tried to install GNOME.

This is of course my fault (I should have checked the LV sizes d-i 
suggested) but some sanity checks on LV / partition size would 
nevertheless make sense.

Best regards

Jan
