Comments/Problems:
Perhaps this is an omission rather than an error. I could not install when I configured the network
with DHCP. The installation hung trying to fetch packages from the mirror. I suspect this was because
it had not asked me for my ISP's nameservers.
Re-running the install worked fine with manual network configuration ie supplying an IP for the box
(it suggested mask and gateway addresses correctly) and nameserver IPs.
