Comments/Problems:

<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
      and ideas you had during the initial install.>

For the network card (a Intel PRO (e100)) the installer said, that there is firmware missing. In 
your description I found, that the installer will ask to load the drivers from a medium.
I installed this system minimum 5 times, because I tried to find these drivers and made several errors.
But then I found them, copied them on a usb as the pc does not have floppy. But now that I am ready, the installer
does not ask anymore to load the drivers.

It seems to me, that when I choose the onboard nic the question would be displayed, as I tried this once. 
But then - in the meaning to work around the problem - I installed a e100 (Intel) nic. The installer then asks, which nic
I want to use and I select the Intel. After that, the installer unfortunately does NOT ask to install the driver... 

For the onboard nic I did not find the drivers at all... so I should stick with the Intel, but now
I am unsure, how to install them. If I just copy the files into /lib/firmware/e100, the drivers will not 
be automatically updated, as I understand from your manual.


The installation of the boot loader did correctly recognise, that there is a XP and a Ubuntu Installation
on the system. It then sais that it should be safe to overwrite the MBR or so. I say OK and after
reboot there are only four lines and all for starting Debian. XP and Ubuntu are completely missing.....

Best regards

Hi,

thank you for submitting installation reports, much appreciated.

I read through all the bugs mentioned here (and I'm sure they were read by 
several people at the time they were submitted) and am closing them now as/if
- they (finally) indicated success and/or
- I know from first hand experience that the functionality is working in 
Wheezy and/or
- they only contained very little information and/or
- they contained user errors and/or
- they have been from a development phase where things were not stable and/or
- they are very old, more than 2.5 years.

If I've closed a bug incorrectly please do reply (it's easy to reopen and I'll 
do if requested) or just file a new one - thats often better, as the bug log 
will be clearer and shorter and not contain cruft.


cheers,
        Holger
