Comments/Problems:
Backed up data, wrote sarge-businesscard iso (dated 20031230) to
CD and rebooted.
Everything is OK until just after setting up the disk mounts I am dumped
into the main menu. Selecting "Install base system" just returns me
to the main menu without an error message.
Since it's just the business card size iso, I'm guessing it couldn't
find the files it needed to continue, but I might have expected a
question asking which method I'd want to use to install the base system.
(I don't have DHCP, so if that's used to determine if a network install
may be applicable, it would fail here.)
Since I was trying a network install, so I went back up to
"Load installer components" and selected "network" and "mirror".
MINOR BUG: the final character of each line on the menu for installer
components is missing. i.e: "... networ"
Network/mirror configuration was OK, I re-selected "install base system"
and the packages were pulled from the mirror.
MINOR BUG: after each package is downloaded the message reads "Verifying %s..."
After the reboot base-config came up, but I couldn't use it because
the system didn't seem to recognise my USB keyboard. I was locked
out until I could get access to a PS/2 keyboard.
I guess this is a bug with the kernel package, or with whatever chooses the
kernel package to use, or whatever determines which modules to load.
