Hi, I urge you to reconsider severity of this problem. There's another situation that makes it much worse: - User boots off USB stick - sda is USB, sdb is SCSI or SATA - GRUB install on (hd0) (i.e. sda) fails. - Manual repairing is not possible, because if you boot a rescue system

Hi! d-i now offers the possibility of installing with disabled root logins. If you do that, the default GNOME desktop is broken because a lot of the links use gksu instead of gksudo: /usr/share/applications/gdmsetup.desktop:Exec=gksu gdmsetup

udev and I2O support

Hi! udev 0.097-1 contains fixes necessary support of I2O drives (see #373921). I understand that the version of udev currently in sid (or later) will forcibly get into etch because of #369479, but I'm not sure if this will affect d-i image generation. Is d-i etch RC1 expected to include udev =
