Comments/Problems:
The only problem found was when detecting the PCMCIA Ethernet card. The card
uses the module pcnet_cs, but when loading this module from the list, the network
device eth0 wasn't created, altough the module was loaded successfully. This was solved
by opening console and executing
/etc/init.d/pcmcia stop and then /etc/init.d/pcmcia start. Then the module already
loaded created the eth0 device.
Other than that the installer worked perfectly. Thanks a lot for the great work you've
all done.
