Default Re: Debian Etch: So Easy A Newbie Can Do It

Prakash. I'm in the debian etch testing team for Malayalam language, and was testing the graphical installer in various machines.

Text install is fine. I'm already running Debian Etch 19th Dec 2006 Weekly build.

And the synaptics keypad is not detected in graphical installer. It's working fine after installation. The problem being Debian is not starting X for graphical installation. It's just a GTK workaround, and needs a lot of changes from now. As of now I'll suggest the text installer for etch installation.

All the wireless tools are installed but it's not detecting my card. i was told to install hotplug, but synaptic tells me that i need to remove a few packages for installing hotplug like

apid
gnome-power-manager
gnome-volume-manager
linux-xxxx-486 (???????????)
and a few more.

I was quite confused why it asks me for removing the kernel - so i stopped there. Most probably it need to install an hotplug enabled kernel - i need to confirm.

Thanks for the repository list.
