Comments/Problems:

I tried the sarge alpha net install, and ran into a problem.  Midway
through the base system install, after about 1/3 of the packages were
installed, I got the following error:

Errors were encountered while processing:
	apt-utils
umount: /target/dev/pts: No such file or directory
umount: /target/dev/shm: No such file or directory
/target/proc/bus/usb: Invalid argument

I just jotted down what I saw on paper.  If you need more detail, I can
reinstall, and try to save a log.

Also, I was wondering what the procedure for completing the installation
is for users who do not connect to the network with a static IP or with
DHCP.  I connect using the rp-pppoe package from my ADSL service provider.
I wasn't able to complete the base installation, but I assume that I can
install rp-pppoe after the base installation completes, and from there
complete the full installation.

I should mention that during the partitioning, sarge complained that I
didn't have an ext2 formatted file system for my /boot directory even
after I had created a separate /boot partition formatted ext2.  After
that, I got rid of the /boot partition, and formatted my / partition ext2,
after which the partitioning was allowed to complete.  Is there a need to
reserve space at the beginning of the disk for aboot as I have done in the
past?  The automatic partitioner didn't leave any, and there was no
mention of it in the installation guide.

Support for PPPoE is now provided by the ppp-udeb components since Etch.

Therefore closing these reports.
