Boot method: <How did you boot the installer? CD? floppy? network?> floppy to 
CD I needed to make the three floppies (boot, root, and CDROM) and from there 
I could install. The computer is old enough to not fully support CD boot. 
When I tried, I got an isolinux error.

Comments/Problems:
I started this install (about the 5th time) and this time was determined to 
get it functioning properly. The biggest problem I had was that I couldn't 
seem to tell the installer how to configure my Internet connection. I have an 
old router which also serves as firewall (SMC Barricade) and the entry to my 
broadband connection (a dish network type setup). After getting the system to 
reboot which wasn't hard, I had to search for the files to change so that the 
computer would work on my network. Finally with some help from a friend who 
was familiar with Unix, I found the resolv.conf file to set up the DNS 
addresses.

I'm still trying to find information on how to setup a remote printer - it's 
on a Windows XP computer. I've setup this same printer on another computer 
running Mandrake 10.1 - it was easy. Unfortunately I'm finding it difficult 
to find the tools to setup the printer.

I'm not sure if this information is useful - I'm very much a newbie with 
Linux.

If you want any more information or expansion on what I've said, please feel 
free to email me.

All the reported issues are outside the scope of the Debian
Installer. I actually fail to see why the resolv.conf wasn't set
properly...unless the answers to the related questions in the
installer were'nt correct.

Given that your installation was a complete success, I do as
usual with reports for successful installations: I close the bug..:-)

This does not of course mean you weren't right to report. Knowing the
installations are correct is important for the d-i team.

Many thanks for your time testing the Debian Installer and reporting
your results. Have fun with your new Debian system!
