Comments/Problems:
The install worked perfectly as far as the reboot. That's what's so frustrating!!!! It's what happens after the reboot that's the problem.
Booting from the CD my wireless card was detected, it got an address via dhcp and did the full install over the network. Once you reboot, however, the system no longer recognizes the wireless card (or my PCMCIA ethernet card) so the install can go no further.
This is a MAJOR flaw as you can go no further with the install. You're stuck. And so am I!
This is as bad as a Windows install that fails to detect the keyboard and prompts you to "Press F1 to continue."

Never ask a man what computer he uses.
If it's a Mac, he'll tell you. If it's not, why embarrass him?
