boot-floppie 3.0.13 success, of sorts
Version: 3.0.13
Flavour: reiserfs
Distribution: woody
Hardware: Toshiba Satellite 330CDS
The pcmcia modules are totaly hosed. the only way to make the pcmcia
work is to compile them seperately, and after the modules have been
installed, copy in the good modules, and re-run depmod -a
(this is not strictly a boot floppy problem, however)
making the user wait to acknowledge the empty exim.conf is plain mean.
it serves no use.
configuring LILO caused a bunch of spewage onto VC 1.
hitting ^C in VC1 while it seemed that debootstrap has froze (it was
http.us.debian.org being extremely slow) caused the installer to
restart. at least the network settings were kept :)
it seems that when i specified a transceiver type for the PCMCIA nic, it
did not take, until i tried to reconfigure PCMCIA. then the network came
up just fine as PCMCIA was restarted.
and now i have the Congratulations, you have successfully installed
Debian! screen. *whew!*

MD5 passwords are not the default?!
uh oh. pcmcia was not started, no net. Apt Configuration does not
like that. a little /etc/init.d/pcmcia start luv fixed that right up.
wishlist bug? against which package?
