Base installation

Booting debian netinst from USB drive

Debian Installer Etch beta 3 release

if you burn it on a CD and boot from it, you get the message "No common CD-ROM drive was detected" which makes it impossible to go further. The workaround I used is to boot from a USB stick (don't worry you will get your CDROM working later). Debian installer CD has some issues with the SATA and CD drivers that prevent installation to access to CD drive, I found some tips to solve that problem but they did't work for me. I installed it from my 256 MB USB drive. Setting up a USB drive installer

wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/\
main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/boot.img.gz
gzip -dc boot.img.gz >/dev/sdX

Enable USB drive boot from BIOS setup, and then Install Debian base system as usual.

Installing from CD

(Check) You can append libata.atapi_enabled=1 to the install or expert command lines at the boot prompt to get your cdrom detected and then be able to install from it. However, as Ryan Langseth pointed out to me, this only works for the daily builds of the installer;

Touchpad

Debian identified it as a regular mouse. However installing the xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package and using the "synaptics" driver in X.org works fine.
