Hello,

a few questions about this:

1. At which point exactly did the installation fail?

I tried some times. It has bugs at various points. From detecting the router (auto or manual configuration failed) the earlier, to installing GRUB (after 97%).

2. Was there an error message?

Various. Eg. "Η εγκατάσταση απέτυχε" (=installation failed).
Not very informational though.

msi wrote:

3. Can you reproduce the problem?

Well...yes and no.  Installer seems to be buggy.
It throughs bugs at different points.

Some DMs are more friendly that others to setting locales.  KDE can be a bit fussy with this.  Please read the Release notes and also search this forum for KDE.

Oh I see!
Then I suppose I have the options either choosing another desktop, or customizing localization from the working system (after booting up).

UPDATE:

I managed to install it.
It has some other problems, but I'll open a new post.
THANKS AGAIN!!! ;-)

Hi! :-)

I downloaded the ASCII dvd x64 and I tried to install it (normal installer, NOT the graphical one, bios mode, NOT uefi), choosing my native language (Greek), but installation failed and aborted.
DVD scanned for errors and it passed (OK).

Installing again, using English (American), completed flawlessly.

I choose the packages: devuan, kde, console and standard.

If you think it's a bug and should be reported, please tell me.
G.
