Great work with debian-installer; it has progressed quite a bit since I last tested it a month or so ago. I've downloaded the October 5 netinst image from http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/netinst/i386/ and run through it a few times on my laptop. For the most part things went smoothly. [snip] However, the wireless-tools package was not installed as part of the installation system. This made it impossible to set the wireless network name (SSID), meaning that my machine would connect to either my neighbors network or my network, depending on some kind of RF conditions or something. Ideally, d-i would show a list of available wireless networks, allowing the user to choose one. Assuming that's not likely to happen, the user still needs to be able to manually set a network name.
