Bug#64621: Installing from network window don't show errors but silently restarts the installer
Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.2.13-2000-05-04
Potato install on a 8M laptop from 2+3 floppies + network.
Probably due low memory or slow disk the network download starts,
and dies at some point (around 3MB downloaded data). The problem
is that it writes half screen of error messages... white on white.
Then restarts the whole installer to the point "Welcome to the Debian
installer"...
Neither the invisibe error message nor the restart without a comment
is pretty.
It does have the possibility to be caused by hardware problems. If you
see nothing unusual at the boot floppies code feel free to close this
bug.
