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.

HTH
