Dear team, I have tried to install the new Stretch Alpha 6 iso: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/stretch_di_alpha6/amd64/iso-cd/debian-stretch-DI-alpha6-amd64-netinst.iso The installation is done on a real computer, not a VM. And since the installation didn't complete I cannot send a nice report and can't do any copy-paste. I'm just describing the state of the laptop in front of me. So sorry for potential typing mistakes below. And it fails with the following message: "Choisir et installer des logiciels Échec d'une étape de configuration Une étape de l'installation a échoué. ...

Re: Debian Installer Stretch Alpha 6 release
Unless some compeling reason exists not to do it, could wireless-tools
and iw get added to the isos? I don't know why iwconfig continues to be
on this type of debian when iw was supposed to have replaced it and is
supposedly more harmonious with modern kernels. I tried configuring my
wifi connection to xfinity with iwconfig and wpa_supplicant and couldn't
get it done post-install and suspect I need a few more tools and I'm
doing this with command line. If espeakup by default gets mate
installed is orca also installed?

Improvements in this release
* brltty:

enter at the right time to select a given board.
- Improve language/voice lookup.
- Install MATE desktop by default when espeakup is used in d-i.
* flash-kernel:
- Avoid waiting for Ctrl-c when debconf is running (#791794).

(#818611).
- Improve error checking in various places.
* network-console:
- Improve support for multiple addresses (#816600).
* parted:
- Fix problems with LVM and DASD devices (#814076).

* partman-ext3:
- Call mkfs.ext[34] with -F to avoid hangs (#767682).
* preseed:
- Invert env-preseed and initrd-preseed so that the former
overrides the latter (#805291).
- url: correctly handle IPv6 addresses (#815166).

dependency on s390x (#818586).
* libdebian-installer:
- armel: Add various orion5x/kirkwood based Buffalo Linkstation
devices supported by device-tree.
* linux:

(#815848).

Re: Debian Installer Stretch Alpha 6 release
Hi, Another issue I found is of course backports did not work even when
I selected it for installation as there are no backports yet for
testing. The installer just told me that the repository was commented
out but it gave the URL instead of the backports information. What
would it take for the message to say something like backports could not
be verified there for this repository is commented out as currently it
looks like it could not download any information from the repository
when infact it was just one that failed? Nick Gawronski

Re: Debian Installer Stretch Alpha 6 release
Hi, One thing that would be nice to add in the next version of the
debian-installer is brief descriptions of what tasks do for example in
the alpha 6 screen select and install software lots of selections exists
and as some are very good by their names like DebianMultimedia other
ones are not so well explained by their names like Debian Astro. The
descriptions should take up probably no more then one or two lines at
the most. Nick Gawronski

(#758116).
Improvements in this release
* brltty:
- Install MATE desktop by default when brltty is used in d-i.
- Disable auto-detection of Cebra, Albatross, and BrailleMemo
devices in d-i, since they are rare and conflict with other
devices (#782732).

between choices screens (#809739).

enter at the right time to select a given board.
- Improve language/voice lookup.
- Install MATE desktop by default when espeakup is used in d-i.
* flash-kernel:
- Avoid waiting for Ctrl-c when debconf is running (#791794).
* net-retriever:
- Concentrate on SHA256 now, following archive-side changes.
* netcfg:
- Improve behaviour when user-submitted input contains spaces
(#818611).
- Improve error checking in various places.
* network-console:
- Improve support for multiple addresses (#816600).
* parted:
- Fix problems with LVM and DASD devices (#814076).
* partman-auto:
- Bump space requirements for a lot of recipes (#725642).
* partman-basicfilesystems:
- Call mkfs.ext2 with -F to avoid hangs (#817174).
* partman-ext3:
- Call mkfs.ext[34] with -F to avoid hangs (#767682).
* preseed:
- Invert env-preseed and initrd-preseed so that the former
overrides the latter (#805291).
- url: correctly handle IPv6 addresses (#815166).
* rootskel:

* s390-zfcp:
- New component to activate and configure FCP devices (#808041).
* wget:
- Add udeb support, for later user.

- Add sata-modules for arm64.
* grub-installer:
- Install grub-xen when installing in a Xen PV guest.
* hw-detect:
- Improve and split harddrive detection into DASD and SCSI
dependency on s390x (#818586).
* libdebian-installer:
- armel: Add various orion5x/kirkwood based Buffalo Linkstation
devices supported by device-tree.
* linux:
