Comments/Problems:
Only bug: last screen before reboot is not translated to german.
Everything else went perfect. This notebook got a bay to
insert floppy, CD-Rom or battery. No problem if CD or floppy
or none was installed. Network configuration via DHCP.
As the notebook also boots SuSE w. lilo, I was able to skip
installation of GRUB and adapt lilo to continue installing.
I did not check PCMCIA support as I got nothing to plug in
there.
D-I rocks!
