Comments/Problems:=20
Configure network HW, config network - =20
Installation system seems not to have either the eepro100 or the e100
module for the Intel PRO/100 fast ethernet card. Both these modules are
in the base system. However, unlike woody bf2.4, it was not obvious how
one can extract the drivers to a floppy for pre-loading. But since the
base system is all on the CD, network configuration is not really
needed. This won't be true for the business card version (which I did
not try). Maybe an opportunity should be given in the base-config to
configure networking if it hasn't yet been. I know base-config is not
part of the installer, but maybe network config is not regarded as part
of base-config. Another way is to instruct on how to extract the drivers
from the packages in the iso.=20
Mount Partitions - the mounting of the hard disk was fine, but the
installer-generated fstab does not take into account that the CD device
is accessed with the ide-scsi driver. The CD device must be manually
remounted to allow further installation from CD.=20
Install Grub - maybe this should be filed against the Grub installer. I
think I saw this mentioned somewhere on the mailing lists, although not
in any of the bug reports. The installer guesses the grub root wrong. So
even though the grub boot loader, the kernel and initrd are all properly
installed, the base system could not be booted. I was lucky to have a
previously installed kernel with the proper grub root specification.=20

This was actually a bug in discover, which told ethdetect to use the
wrong kernel module, eepro100 instead of the newer e100, which is
available. I have fixed it by NMU.b
