Quote:add priority=low to the kernel parametersThank you!
Quote:add priority=low to the kernel parametersOk, I spoke too early. This version of debian installer installs the boot thingie directly to HD0 without asking. In the version on Ubuntu 9.10 there is two more steps after you select to install grub. First you select grub2 or legacy and then where to write the boot sector.

edit: So I burned a disk with xbmc live. it ran me through the entire ubuntu setup, formatting my data. I liked the easy install that was included with A2. much more clean.
altern8 Wrote:i agree, why abandoned the old auto installer in favor of 10+ screens? did people complain they didnt have enff control? isnt the point of having a LIVE edition is to be able to test out XBMC in the quickest way possible (ie run from USB or install without going thru a complicated installer)? i also ran into the SMB share problem on my acer revo so im back to alpha 1 which why has its share of issues, at least i can talk to my SMB share without issue ...

Quote:While I understand the need for flexibility I do agree with others that I liked how simple the old installer was.
Quote:And a remark: I'd really like to be able to setup a fixed ip adress during install. As my mess with vi explains. When I got the user account error I saw a large menu that had network settings in it. Can I somehow setup a fixed ip adress during install?

Edit2: I think you can also get this larger menu by selecting "go back" in e.g. the partition step?
EDIT:
To get an easy installation without questions about encryption and stuff add priority=critical instead.
You see the problem for the developers? It is not easy make everybody happy...
