Comments/Problems:
>From the netinst CDROM the base system was installed. Then the system
rebooted and continued with either tasksel, dselect, or another option
(I forgot which). I continued with tasksel, but no connection to the
Internet was detected.
Although network device was detected (eepro100 module was loaded with
reboot), the /etc/network/interfaces was empty appart from the two
comment lines:
# Used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8). See the interfaces(5) manpage or
# /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples for more information.
but there were no interfaces defined after reboot.
I added loopback and eth0 device by hand:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
and typed # ifup -a
This configured the loopback and eth0 devices. Next I could continue with
tasksel and netinstall.
The complete installation continued without noticable problems.
