I had to finish via the abort installation. Comments/Problems: As above, a standard install though I skipped the Debian mirror part since I install packages from loop mounted DVD images (however even when I did specify a mirror, it didn't work...found the Release file but (the installer) tasksel couldn't seem to connect with the mirror). As a sidenote when I later tried to run tasksel after booting into the new system, that failed when it complained about answering yes to some questions when --force-yes wasn't given as an option. The main problem happened at the end with the "finish install" step. As above it just flashed a window and returned to the menu. (Package related issues) Although I specified shadow passwords, they were not set, probably because of the finish prob above. I did a shadowconf on to get it going. Also the timezone wasn't set...as above. I installed kdm,kde,&xorg via dselect. They didn't set a useable video mode for the machine (640x480 I believe). I needed to go in and set the HSync and VRefresh explicitly in the xorg.conf to get a useable display. Also KDE would not initialize sessions. In both a new user and an established user, it would start to initialize the session but then eventually return to the login screen. To get into something I could use, I escaped from the login screen into console mode, logged in root, killed kdm, and then did a startx. However, I could only do one startx. After that if I killed X and tried to get it going again, it would complain about an openoffice being open and then X would die. Once you have filled out this report, mail it to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This issue is documented on [1] and was corrected shortly after the last weekly builds. The next weekly builds should be OK again.
