Comments/Problems:
Choice : francais, keyb fr
The computer is not connected to a network. It tried network card config,
and failed.
Now, the problems:
1. I have chosen "Detecter et monter le cederom", but instead it entered in
network card config and tried DHCP, asked IP etc. After that, I have
chosen the next option.
2. Additionnal packets installed ok, but after that it entered again in
network card config. Same as before, hence I have chosen the next option.
3. HW detection ok, but after that again it entered in network...
4. I have chosen "Partitionnement". I have tape ctrl-c, and it exited and
printed the boot screen. Now the computer is blocked.
I can provide further details if needed.
I have also tried an installation with network, more info in another
report.
