Done. Wouldn't it be easier to load the usb modules by default? I would guess that 99.9% of all machines running Debian have got an USB device.
BTW, the /lib/modules directory doesn't contain any network drivers at all. Maybe this could be fixed, too?Those are loaded from the iso.
There are no *.o or *.ko files on netinst.iso. But even if there are, who said that the kernel on the iso matches the kernel in boot.img.gz? Anyway, forcedeth was not loaded (I tried i386 and amd64). di-installer gave me an error message "Ethernet card not found". To be sure I have added it to my bug report about discover-data. These are the images I used: ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/2.6/boot.img.gz http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/i386/20040712/sarge-i386-netinst.iso http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/debian-installer/daily/hd-media/2.6/boot.img.gz http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/install-images/sarge-i386-netinst.iso Regards Harri
