The updated package still has not made its way into proposed-updates, so
the bug still exists for me.
Any estimated date when this will happen?

It's been a long time, but have you had a chance to try the installer
again?
Unfortunately not, sorry. The customers server had to be put in
production and I don't have any equal machine. I'm sorry... ;-(

Hi Joey,
This begs the question of how you ran it, if you didn't bother to look
for a device node (which would be in devfs syntax, so not /dev/hda).
IIRC, cfdisk has to be told the device to run on, you must have told it
something or it would have given you a usage message.
Sorry, I'm not quite
Hi Joshua,
This could have been due to the broken 2.4.27 kernel images that the
netinst was built upon.
Try again in a few days when the new udebs have been built against.
Okay, if I get a chance to get to the machine again (it's not mine and
it is being used as a production server right now),

you have this choice, just boot with DEBCONF_PRIORITY=low parameter.
Okay, but the hosts file is still wrong.

/etc/hosts is wrong. At least with DHCP setup, I have the following:
127.0.0.1myhostname (without domain!)localhost
But it should be:
127.0.0.1localhost
192.168.0.1 (or similar)myhostname.mydomainmyhostname

To UNSUBSCRIBE,
How about a possibility of being asked what to write in /etc/hosts?
This relates to some other bug I have filed.
You have no choice to NOT use DHCP when a DHCP server is reachable.

The problem seems to be a different one.
Due to the default PAM configuration, a passwd uses MD5 passwords.
The initial installer, however, creates DES passwords.
Shall I file a new bug for that?

The installer asks the password for root and optionally the password for the
normal user account. These passwords are saved in /etc/shadow.
However, they are NOT encrypted with MD5 (i.e. strings beginning with $1$ in
/etc/shadow), but with DES. When you change passwords via passwd, they are
Sorry for the confusion ;)
What I meant was that passwd after installation CORRECTLY creates MD5 sums
due to the CORRECT md5 entry in the appropriate PAM file.
So: PAM is just fine. Only the installer has a bug. It's not creating MD5
passwords.

DHCP is used automatically. I would like to see the woody-behaviour where
you got asked whether to use DHCP or not.

When you set a proxy in the setup, it should be automatically entered in
/etc/environment with
ftp_proxy=
http_proxy=
(and maybe) https_proxy
for later reboots.

The set proxy is not being used in the installer after the system rebooted.

I assign this to base-config but I'm not completely sure
Many thanks for these very precise reports of your wishes for the
Debian installer.
No problem ;-) Thanks for your kind words and for reacting
Sorry, what debconf window title do you mean?
I don't remember, but it was on the CD installer from the 20040310 CD. I
think it was Passwd setup, but I', not quite sure.

How about a quick and dirty solution:
Asking the user which CPU he uses in the installer and providing a
fallback 386 kernel.

The last one I tested was Beta 2 of the install CD.
My suggestion is not just booting only on a keypress, but booting in the
normal BIOS boot order (i.e. normally hda, hdb, hdc, ...) if NO key is
pressed. Exactly like the Windows NT/2000/XP CDs do.

The installer should be able to launch SSHD for installation. This is
especially useful for remote installations. My suggestion:
- The kernel has to be booted with sshd=true root_password=12345
- Then the installer does not launch on tty1, but on the

The CD should only boot on keypress, like the Windows NT (ugh!) CD does:
Please press any key to start from the Debian GNU/Linux CD,
otherwise normal BIOS boot order will continue in seven seconds.

I want to disable the hardware auto detection on bootup, because it does not
always work reliably. The method with /etc/modules.conf is sometimes better

Hi Eric,
ah, that's good to know, thanks.
It would be good if the installer could ask whether you want autodetection
or not, WHILE and AFTER installation.
