Comments/Problems:
"Create file systems" : I wanted to do an ext3 filesystem, but I got
mkfs.ext3 No such file ..., but /sbin/mkfs.ext3 was here
(symlink). Didn't try to launch by hand, I will retry.
Then I retried with ext2 => success. During next boot, when the system
tried to mount the / (auto type in fstab), I got a warning "no
journal". So the mkfs.ext2 need to erase the journal option.
"Install boot loader" : I tried to install grub first, I got a error :
/sbin/grub-install : No such file. I didn't check if the file was here
, I will retry. Tried lilo => success
"Reboot" : during the reboot, I see a message "eject command not
found"
Comments: I did a first install, I tried a french mirror and I got a
403 eror for a file (maybe a mirror synchro problem). I didn't find
the way to reset http mirror selection.
