Comments/Problems:
Actually I'm not quite sure which step in the list
above represents where my installation failed.
This does not have to be an error but it sure stopped
me from completing the installation: The installation
recognized my two networkcards (via rhine and sis900)
but said those drivers weren't available and I had to
install them from a driver-disc. Unfortunately the
documentation wasn't very forthcoming on how to make a
driver disc and neither was anyone I could find on
IRC.
I'm not exactly sure how to describe this step but
it's basically a progress bar working its' way across
the screen while hardware detection is being done: It
took a very long time to get by "Linux IDE detect" and
when it finally did the progress bar moved an inch
only to pause again while trying to detect my cdrom
drive (which I find odd since it obviously had no
problems booting from it).
When finally getting to choose installation medium the
network option wasn't available and the CDs I put into
the cdrom drive couldn't be detected.
