cjwatsonevand: re earlier: unfortunately partman/choose_partition is about the most complex piece of handling of any debconf question in ubiquity, hence why all the debug is in there to help try to track stuff down. :)12:18
cjwatsonevand: most of that debugging should be enabled by default and should show up on ubiquity's stderr, though. (If you run it from the menu item, that will probably land in ~/.xsession-errors.)12:19

tat_hello, is there a way to install in tet mode from the xubuntu lie cd ?02:12
tat_hello, is there a way to install in text mode from the xubuntu lie cd ?02:12
cjwatsontat_: I'm afraid not. Use the alternate install CD if you want that02:12
tat_thanks02:14

tat_but is it not possibill to install packages on a booted liveCD ? so i could install the text based installer package ?02:17
evandYou can install whatever packages you want on the LiveCD (assuming you have the free memory), however the text based installer's package is a build system for the text based installer02:18
evandnot the installer itself02:18

cjwatsontat_: indeed, the text-based installer isn't a sufficiently normal package for you to be able to do that; it expects to have total control of the system itself02:19
cjwatsonit's more of a miniature operating system than a package02:19
tat_hos is that text based installer called ( appart from d-i ) ?02:20
cjwatsond-i or debian-installer02:21
tat_what is with debootstrap ?02:22
tat_i could use debootstrap and chroot into the system instal grub and configure the basics , i guess that will work :02:23
cjwatsontat_: https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/installation-guide/i386/linux-upgrade.html02:41
cjwatsontat_: I'm not clear why you don't just grab the alternate CD though02:41
cjwatsonit'd probably be a lot easier ...02:41
cjwatsonthat documentation may not be entirely up to date and is probably not exactly equivalent02:42
tat_i allready am downloading the alternate, i just where looking what will be faster, but since i can`t use the repository on the liveCD with debootstrap the alternate disk install will be faster :)03:02
