Bug#437018: Network shouldn't be used/enforced on non-network installs

I guess having it look for a network in the background and silently fail would be preferable, in any case. Is this doable? On 8/10/07, Christian Perrier [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Quoting Tim Hull ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): It would be GREAT if the network-related steps would be skipped/bypassed

Bug#437018: Network shouldn't be used/enforced on non-network installs

Of course security updates should be enabled by default, and I do agree that it's sensible for the system to _ask_ to try to install security updates even if there's no network. But there are cases where security updates don't make much sense, and I do think that the current behaviour

Bug#437016: d-i inconsistent in definition of GB used

Package: debian-installer Version: 20070308 During an Etch install, the partitioning step is inconsistent about the definition of a gigabyte. For example, when LVM volumes are created, the definition of GB used for specifying their size is (1024*1024*1024) bytes. However, the definition of GB

Bug#65606: No installation of LILO to logical partition?
