As mentioned before, 'Install failed' message and when going to
'Configure network' step, it says, "No network interfaces found".
> What does ifconfig tell you?
ifconfig returns the following:
Link encap: Local Loopback
inet addr: 127.0.0.1 Mack: 255.0.0.0
Up loopback running MTU 3924 Metric:1
RX packets:0 Errors:0 etc. etc (everthing else=0)

'Kernal modules to load at boot time' - none showing

# /etc/network/interfaces -- Configuration file for ifup(8),

# the loopback interface
iface lo inet loopback
