How to Boot from network ?
I have no 'tftpd' running ?

A release which does detect a deactivated on-board NIC

The debian-installer installs someting but not a working system...
If I start the CD, it ask me three or four questions and it
install the whole thing and after rebooting nothing does work
I do not like to download every day tonns of ISO images for nothing...

Do not work...

Now I have created a 250 MB hda1 partiton with Woody and it works...
Then I have installed debootstrap and installed on a second
partition SID. and after this, I have chrooted and installed
a 2.4.27 Kernel and put lilo in hda5
Back in hda1 I have setup lilo for the hda5 and now it works...
Note: I hate the debian-installer !
It is like Windows...
...it installs something and you do not know what !
Oh yes, I have had false keymaps, false /etc/networking/interfaces
false /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf...
