Bug#373699: debian-installer: installation will not complete
Package: debian-installer Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable I tried to install Etch using last cd from 12.06.2006 Note thah I do not have access to online mirror on that PC and use expert mode Installation silently fails after step Choose and install software - it will just go to the next step in menu (AFAIR it is check cd-rom integrity) After manually trying following steps in installation menu Abort installation comes at last. After rebooting I have bootable system but is is completely weird- for example, users that I have created have gone (no entry's in /etc/passwd), /etc/shadow is non-existent so only root with empty password is allowed and so on I tried this several times (at first I thought that was because of failing installation of console-cyrillic because of not available mirror) and even with all default values (excluding disk partiotioning) instalation just silently fails at the end, leaving installed system weird -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#362800: debian-installer: cd-rom installer requires online repository
Package: debian-installer Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system Today I downloaded the fresh Etch iso image (CD-1, ~650Mb). When I tried to install, installer correctly recognized media as Etch 'testing' medium Then installer required to define the online repository to install from and subsequently, at step of base system install , refused to install saying something like dont now how to install - no cd found and mirror is not reachable ( This PC has NIC but no network ) So I rendered this bug as critical as it does not allow to correctly install from appropriate medium -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-3-686 Locale: LANG=ru_RU.KOI8-R, LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.KOI8-R (charmap=KOI8-R) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
