            Comments/Problems:

            Install base system:

            Install proceedes until loading kernel 2.6.3-1-386 I have
            chosen, then the menue complained an error because of the 
            installation of the pcmcia-modules and stops.
            The virtual console 3 told:
            E: Couldn't find package kernel-pcmcia-modules-2.6.3-1-386

            Install boot loader:

            Any further step e.g installing the grub bootloader denied
            working and stepped back to install the base system until the error
            is repeated and this leads to an interactive infinite loop.

            As I have an IBM compatible PC with no PCMCIA nor cardbus this is
            an unescessary module to be loaded. I don't understand why the
            install procedure insists on doing so and I wonder why at all
            because there is no such hardware to be found at my system.

Greetings,

Sascha Wuestemann
