Comments/Problems:
rc3 failed first in manual network configuration, not accepting
10.0.0.1 (nor other addresses from the private classes) as a valid IP.
When editing the IP address after the installer complained, neither
backspace or left arrow worked at first; however I was able to jump to
the beginning of the line with ctrl-a and use delete or ctrl-d to
delete text. After inserting some text at the beginning of the line,
backspace suddenly started to work.
I was able to fix the above problem only manually from the commandline
(ifconfig+route). After doing this, everything worked fine until the
base system installation, which ultimately failed with "No installable
kernel was found in the defined APT sources" (trying to install
testing).
I proceeded into trying the daily build downloaded on 2005-04-14 and
will file a separate installation report on it.
