Package: debian-installer Severity: normal I recently installed Debian from a netinst CD onto a laptop. The installation overall went fairly smoothly, except that I was not initially able to access the network: the ethernet card was correctly recognized and configured, but my network connection requires an authentication step via a web browser, and netinst does not include any. So I've had to do a minimal install from netinst, then use an USB flash drive to copy lynx (and a couple auxiliary libraries), then authenticate, then finally do the rest of the install "manually" (via apt-get).
