Comments/Problems:
<Booting from CD. Main goal was to test the wireless network setup in
installation. I have a Linksys WPC11V3 card which should talk to a Linksys
BEFW11S4. It was not able to pull an IP address from the router, but I've
seen this happen before. I gave it a static IP address - which I actually
prefer. It would be nice if this were an opton in the installer.
After the reboot, I was informed that I did not have an internet connection,
so the wireless setup did not work. It would have been nice if I had been
informed of this much earlier in the installation - possibly at the point
that it was configuring the network. For all intents and purposes, everything
I did after that point - most of what was done - was wasted time.
