Well, unless you choose an NFS install source, you wont get the network
config until after you setup the drivers/pcmcia. So hopefully by here you
have configured your network driver. If not, then it is still a good idea
to continue the configuration without a network setup (and just hostname
config) until the system is rebooted and more steps can be taken.
I've set it up as I explained above, so the code is there now in CVS.
