Hi,

(please CC: me)

I tested the current Beta 3 of the installer (my aim was not to install a new
system, that's why I send no installation report) and want to inform you about
my experiences. There are many little issues which are mostly not very important.

I used the netinst image from
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/etch_di_beta3/i386/iso-cd/.

The first confusing fact are the names:
debian-testing-i386-businesscard.iso (38MB)
debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso (139MB)

I know this has been already discussed in the past but now I have a local pocket
CD available and noticed that it fits up to 210 MB. So it's sufficient large for
a netinst CD. The businesscard ISO name is that's why confusing.
Why not swap the names? (A netinst CD is also useful as rescue system, ... without
network connection at all, a businesscard CD probably not.)

I also suggest to create links in iso-dvd/ as well, since these are also valid
DVD images.

The following refers to the graphical user frontend and expert mode but I also
tested the newt and partially text frontend:

severity 384323 important
thanks

Quoting Eugenyi Meshcheryakov analyzing a bug report about broken
installer in Russian:

That bug is then here since....D-I beta2 IN MARCH 2006....and not a
single Russian user noticed...:-(

I find this pretty sad and this indeed shows the poor level of testing
that some language teams ad international users and developers give to
the localized installer.

Package: cdebconf
Version: 0.105
Severity: minor

Input of non-ascii characters does work now; only problem is that when
you enter a non-ascii char, the input line is broken on the right border.
Hitting ^L does not redraw and fix the problem.
The following image shows it:

Version: 1.30

non-ascii chars can now be entered in input boxes (tried it with the newt frontend);
it does now not work on VT2: tested after selecting Italian language / Keyboard.
enabling utf-8 via the following command fixes the problem:

echo -ne "\033%%G"

See:

I'm sure Frans was meant to fix it with the upload of version 1.30:

Hello,

As a newbie (not really a developper) I want to make my own boot/root CD.
So I have made a custom kernel, an initrd to be loaded by the boot loader and a root tree.
The ramdisk contains device /dev/hdc (my cdrom), unfortunately when I boot pivot_root fails telling pivot_root: noc such file or directory
but pivot_root is also present on the ramdisk.

Is it possible to boot a cdrom from grub ? (Why wouldn t it be ?)
Cause I have read through the web there are some problems

I must mention that ide drivers are not compiled as modules.

Can somenone help me

Thanks for reply
