I tried, Sven, and inserted 192.168.1.1 but nothing worked.
Also, Nathanael, I use an ADSL connection:
usually I just enter a username and a password, and the system works.
It is the very thing I am doing right now, from a knoppix-cd.
All I know is that something called pppoe has to be set.
Actually, I am left with only a knoppix-cd: the installer formatted my hard
disk, but nothing positive happened, then.
Please HELP: how can I install debian?
Is really this d-i beta3 working?
Thanks
Luigi
