When I tested debian-installer recently, I was told that the net install images are *really* crufty and what you're testing is a several-month-old floppy-on-a-CD that doesn't work well. Of obvious note: > * One of the systems systems has an eepro100, it doesn't detect that the > e100 driver works with it. This *is* detected by the full debian-installer CD. I still don't recommend debian-installer for those who aren't brave and have noticable Debian experience, though. When I tested it, APT on the chroot got stuck installing base packages, and I couldn't install anything (say, a kernel or a boot loader). I was able to recover to a working system because I had another disk I could boot off of with GRUB on it and was comfortable using the chroot, but if that sentence scares you d-i is probably a little bleeding-edge for you. :-) -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
