Comments/Problems:
Network Hardware, my motherboard comes in two models, one has both the NV
Marvell onboard GB lan and the Broadcom GB lan, and one model (the one I
have) has only the NV lan. The installer "picks up" a non-existent second
lan on my motherboard, and links it to "eth0." I knew enough to choose
"eth1," but I am concerned that more novice Debian users might have problems
here.
I maintain several computers in two homes, so I keep a mirror of the debian
mirror at MIT.edu as a filesystem and copy that from computer to computer,
then I install from the filesystem. I find this practice saves MIT.edu
bandwidth (I only update one copy) and saves me time (a disk partition is
faster that a DSL modem.) I was very upset that there was no way to install
from the file system, or at least there was no obvious way of doing it (I am
discussing a filesystem that I installed via a boot-cd to a large partition
before installing debian on the same disk.) Looks like I could access an
intranet lan to do this, but I do not have one set up. Being able to do this
would be a great wishlist item for people responsible for multiple PC's.
Thank You

A computer geek haiku for you...
Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.
