Unable to run this command. Sarge did not install.

Method: <How did you install? What did you boot off? If network
install, from where? Proxied?>
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Using the Sarge Business Card ISO CD Image. I can't tell what version
of that ISO Image it is. I'm not sure how to find out.
I booted off the CD, made from that Image File.
I was hoping to be able to access the network through modem via PPP
protocol in order to complete the network install. However it did not
detect the modem, nor did it set up PPP.
Machine: Dell Dimension 2400
Processor: Celeron 2.4GHz
Memory: 256MB
Root Device: IDE, planned on setting up /dev/hdd
Root Size/partition table: Wasn't able to go far with this. I was able
to partition using the menu driven interface, but if I opened a second
virtual console, and tried to run cfdisk or fdisk, they could not
recognize the devices, /dev/hda /dev/hdb, etc. However, the
partitioning and formating worked with the menu driven routine. ( I was
able to partition and format one as FAT32, which the dual-booted (or
I'm hoping soon to be dual-booted) Windows XP could recognize. So no
hard drive problems. Just kinda wonder why, Though that, cfdisk and
fdisk didn't work, yet the menu driven interface did.
Output of lspci:
Not able to run this command. (never fully installed)
Base System Installation Checklist:
Initial boot worked: [O]
Configure network HW: [E] No, it didn't configure my modem.
Config network: [E] Slight problem here...
in the secion where you are to configure
DNS or Name Server address, The question
only asked "please tell us the IP address
of the server." I had to scratch my head a
good long time, until I caught the word
"name server" buried in the text below.
Might wanna make this more "obvious".
Detect CD: [O]
Load installer modules: [O]
Detect hard drives: [O]
Partition hard drives: [O]
Create file systems: [O]
Mount partitions: [ ] Never got that far... perhaps it could have
But I never got past the network setup.
(well technically I gave up, and bypassed
it, in order to make sure the newly
installed secondary hard drive was working,
since windows did not detect it, as it was
a
previously used ext3 filesystem. So I
wanted
to format it for FAT32 to make sure windows
could see it.
Install base system: [ ]
Install boot loader: [ ]
Reboot: [ ]
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it
Comments/Problems:
Ok... Main problem, or rather first off...
Please clarify what "requires net access" means in the text pasting
from the web page: http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/

Beta 3
For beta 3 of the Debian-Installer, the following images are available
for testing. These images will install Debian's testing distribution
(sarge). The Installation HOWTO provides a quick walkthrough of the
installation process, while the Sarge Installation Manual provides more
details. Also, see our FAQ.
* 100 MB CD image, includes Debian base [i386] [ia64] [alpha]
[powerpc] [sparc]
* 30 MB CD image, requires net access [i386] [ia64] [alpha]
[powerpc] [sparc]
* boot floppy image [i386]
* root floppy image [i386]
* CD drivers floppy [i386]
* network drivers floppy [i386]
* USB mass storage boot image [i386]
* netboot and other boot images [i386] [ia64] [alpha] [m68k] [mips]
[powerpc] [sparc]
After testing the Debian-Installer, please send us an installation
report, so we can track and fix any problems you may find. The errata
page lists known problems and workarounds.
\\=======================================================================
I'm assuming net access means any "normal" means of accessing the
Internet. I have a modem, and I know PPP is a cynch to set up.
(extremely tiny) and very easy. So I'm assuming this would mean anyone
with a network card or modem. Or does this mean only those with network
card are covered here, and that modem and ppp network access have been
left out?
I would assume not though. As back in the good old days of 1997, I was
able to set up dial-up ppp manually as a hack to get debian to install
via network. I could hack it again, but I'd think by now, it'd be a
standard method. Well.. I'm blabbing on to excess...
Next point:
The section where you are supposed to configure the name / DNS servers
might need some "rewording" as the top of the instructions say "what is
the IP address of your server?" When I saw that, I scratched my head...
Hmmm... Well.. I personally don't have any servants! Much less know
thier addresses! But finally further down the page, I spotted the two
words "name" and "server" next to each other, so I got it. But I think
it needs to be reworded, so it's clear to others what they are supposed
to be trying to set up.
That's it. Thanks.

Changes:
netcfg (0.62) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Joshua Kwan
- Switch to new debhelper udeb support.
- Stick /sbin back. It was module-init-tools' fault.
- Re-UTF8ize changelog.
- Add a progress bar that waits 3 seconds for us to associate with an
AP. If after 3 seconds there is no association, then bail out, and
have the user type in the ESSID. From here it's possible to return
to automatic configuration, if, say, the user moves closer to the AP
and it can associate.
- Pull udhcpc.default.script because udhcpc-udeb isn't available
anymore.
- Blank gateway is now accepted. (Closes: #241509, #238809)
- Put own hostname in 127.0.0.1 hosts entry. (Closes: #238305, #237779)
- Add some missing newlines for wireless devices to netcfg_write_dhcp.
- Prune unused #defines.
- Nuke unused netcfg/title template.
- Clarify nameserver question by adding an introductory sentence.
(Closes: #243251)
- Touch resolv.conf when using DHCP, to fix problems with pppoeconf
(at least for now. Closes: #241075)
* Per Olofsson
- Check for hotpluggable (PCMCIA) network interfaces in
/etc/network/devhotplug and don't generate auto entries for them.
Also put them in a "mapping hotplug" stanza. Closes: #239284.
