Comments/Problems:

(1)
After partitioning, when screen shows "SETTING UP THE CLOCK", the system reboots.
Trying again, it forget that the setting of HD1 #1 partition (as /).

Language : English, Country: Slovenia, Keyboard: US-English

I tried with Country: Germany, in case Slovenia is the cuase of problem,
but the same problem (reboot at "SETTING UP THE CLOCK") persists.

(2)
In defailt installer says DHCP probe succeeded.
But when I tried "expert" installation, when I come to Netwok configuration,
it says there isn't a driver for network card, and asks floppy with the driver.

The network card is "Realtek RTL8139 PCI Fast Ethernet NIC" and
Realtek's website says "Linux driver (driver has built-in the kernel)".

Well, if you install any other OS, that will not make the memory fault
disappear..:-)

I guess we can close the bug report now.
