Debian 2.1
I entered the configure kernel modules routine. The setup for the
ethernet card failed, so, I had to get out and reboot under DOS to theck
the soft settings on the card. Then, when I rebooted, Debian would not
let me back into the routine to config. the kernel modules. It says,
"you have already configured kernel modules" and it takes me to
"configure network". This is extremely big brother.
Work around is to reinitialize whichever partition is root. This blows
away everything.
You need some sort of override function so that people can reenter any
section of the installation package they want to, with appropriate
warnings, of course.

We believe that the bug you reported has been fixed in the potato
boot-floppies, such as version 2.2.8 or higher.
Note that many boot problems are fixed in 2.2.8 since they use the 2.2
kernels. There are many additional flavors of kernels for i386 as
well.
In some cases, bugs are closed due to lack of feedback from the user.
Many problems are also fixed by the inclusion of new packages from
Potato, such as makedev, modconf, etc.
The management of the boot sector has also changed, which solves many
problems.
We encourage you to test the potato boot-floppies on your system. If
your problem persists, please either respond to debian-boot and CC
your original bug and we will reopen the bug, or else submit a new bug
against the boot-floppies package.
Thanks so much for helping to improve the debian installation system.
