Comments/Problems:
Overall, the installation went very smoothly. Hardware detection was
certainly nice to have.
*1: This system has two network adaptors, one wired and one wireless.
Both were detected and had their drivers set up properly. In the
installer screen, I chose the wrong device and had to start over to
correct this mistake -- both adaptors were identified with the same text
("10/100 Ethernet" or something like that). Any one change out of the
following list would have allowed me to continue the installation without
that reboot:
* in the list of network adaptors, further identify them (by MAC address
and/or by which driver controls the adaptor)
* detect what network adatptor has a link (via the mechanisms used in
package 'ifplugd' or something similar) and default to that one
* Once DHCP has failed to negotiate a lease, present the user with an
opportunity to re-select which network adaptor to use
* If the chosen device is a wireless adaptor, present the user with an
opportunity to enter a WEP key
*2: After the installation and reboot, the two network adaptors were
detected in the opposite order, so that the wired card (that was eth0
during install) was now eth1, and the wireless card (that was eth1 during
install) was now eth0. This problem was easy to fix with appropriate
entries in /etc/modules (so the drivers are forced to load in the proper
order).
One other problem -- not sure if this belongs here or as a bug for
base-config: upon selecting a mirror for apt, it went off and did its
apt-get update magic, then prompted me once again for a mirror. Thinking
it did not like the mirror I had chosen, I chose another. And another.
Only upon manually editing my sources.list file was I allowed to proceed.
