I have finished the installation process with "no bootloader" option. After with Debian installer or Knoppix I was unable to access the partition I have created and installed with Debian (I always use ext3). It look like it was not formatted (very strange). I repeat the installation from start (I delete the partition and recreate a new one identical to the previous) and this second time all go OK: the bootloader install without problem and the system was correctly installed. I have had the same problem on the first install with an eeepc 1101HA and the second install was OK. Here I have used the testing install for i386 on a USB stick. Also here I have had the problem with the keyboard described in the first point. 2) grub menu On that PC I have installed grub2 and there is also ms-windows (sigh!). In the grub menu was only present the two Debian selection. During installation grub has see the ms-windows partition. I have used # update-grub2 to solve the problem Note: in the others installations I have done I don't have a ms-partition, so is the first time I had that problem.
