Comments/Problems:
The on-board sound system (part of the VIA VT8237 South Bridge) was
not detected by the installation, which I believe is an error on the
base system installation. If it is considered a second-stage error,
then I humbly apologize. There's a bunch of entries in Google, and
I know to look at the ALSA project website for via82xx cards,
http://alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?module=via82xx,
and I know that sound on Linux is always a little iffy, so I don't
consider this an important error at all. I *did* want to register
the problem, however, in case (someday) someone makes a concerted
effort to clean up all problems with sound detection in D-I.
I posted to the D-I wiki, volunteering to update the page where a
password is entered to display a splat ('*') for every character
that is typed.
