Comments/Problems:
During the installation I had two problems:
First I was unable to boot the netinst daily snapshot from 2004-04-06 or -05.
That might be a problem of my cd-drive, but I wonder why I was able too boot
busnisscard sized iso and beta 3.
I installed via wireless lan, but needed to switch to shell, and set the essid
manually, since my router hides it.
After reboot network didn't work anymore, I needed to set wep-key and essid
manually.
Las question: I booted with the option "vga=791", since I like to use the whole
display of my notebook. However: After the reboot this kernel-parameter got
lost. Would it be possible to check, if the user specified a kernel parameter
and add them to the bootloader?
Install logs and other status info is available in /var/log/debian-installer/.
