Comments/Problems:
I have googled around on this, and this problem has been reported by
others who are using relatively new Dells, including Optiplexes and
Dimensions. This has been happening on the Sarge install ISOs (not only
netinst) since I have been trying them for about six weeks. It also
happens with Woody BF24.
As far as installation reports go, it would be nice if there was a mail
address right on the install page to which we could sent without having
to figure out that we need to get subscribed to this mail list.
