Comments/Problems:
BUG:
The TI CardBus Bridge needs the Yenta Socket driver. The installation system
does not detect this correctly and then inserts the wrong socket driver in
/etc/default/pcmcia (line: PCIC=). This means that after the reboot, the
network does no longer come up automagically and the whole installation
process is hosed.
correct hardware detection with wrong driver association:

(please ignore the timestamps; my CMOS time is not yet set correctly, which
leads apparently to strange timestamps in the log files ...)
SUGGESTIONS:
Give the option to select a keyboard with UK layout at the installation.
It's marginally different from the US layout, but the differences are
tiresome enough.
Would it be possible to make the machine boot into a VESA console with more
than 80x25, if supported by the hardware? If necessary, ask the user, what
(s)he wants in an "expert mode".
Improve the bug-tracking system in such a manner that it finds the
pesudo-header "Package: installation-reports" even if it should happen not
to be the first line of the message body. Better idea: Make that @&%$#! thing
a true header: "X-Packages: installation reports". Best idea: accept both.
Yours, Wolfgang
