Yesterday i tried to dig a bit some more in this issue, but i had no luck. It looks like libgcc is needed on AMD64 only, on i386 i culd not find this library in the ISO, and i wonder why AMD64 differs from i386. I haven't the skills to solve this issue, so if no one comes at rescue i'll ask d-gcc guys, who maintain libgcc. cheers Attilio -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Thanks for finding this bug! I didn't know that you could change the frontend on the fly. So you interrupted it right after installing the libc and restarted after changing the frontend? -- Jérôme Marant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Try this by yourself - boot an amd64 image with DEBIAN_FRONTEND=newt - proceed with installation process until full libc6 is unpacked - wget libgcc_s.so.1 into the installer - export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=gtk - debian-installer now you should be able to chvt without crashing anymore. Thanks for finding this bug! I didn't know that you could change the frontend on the fly. So you interrupted it right after installing the libc and restarted after changing the frontend? I think this starts two main-menu instances in parallel, but one could set global the DEBIAN_FRONTEND variable and then kill mainmenu (wrapped) to see if it's possible having one single main-menu instance running. cheers and thanks for all your efforts in debugging this :) Attilio -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
