Comments/Problems:
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
and ideas you had during the initial install.>
Network hardware: PCMCIA networking on this PC requires
yenta_socket.o This was not loaded, and therefore cardbus failed
to do the right thing.
Configure network: I did not want to install using networking
but was *not* possible to run the "run installer within pre-boot
environment". Even though I had no wish to install using
networking, the installer kept going back to the networking
option.
Boot loader: I wanted to install the boot loader in the partition
rather than the MBR, but there was no help on doing this ... I
changed (hd0) to (hd0)(6) (which is wrong - it should be
(hd0,5)) but there was no error - grub was silently installed on
the MBR.
Reboot: The system booted perfectly ... and then asked for a
password. There had been no opportunity to set this password.
I had to init=/bin/bash on the command line to set the password,
and I am still at a loss as to how to continue. Aptitude?
Dselect? Tasksel doesn't do very much for this system.
