Comments/Problems:
I boot from the 100Mb CD.
I press ENTER at the "Press F1 for help, or ENTER to boot:" prompt.
It loads the kernel.
I am prompted "Choose language" and accept the "en_US" default.
I am prompted "Select a keyboard layout" and accept the "American
English" default.
The it says "Detecting Hardware" and the progress bar goes all the way.
Then it says "Loading components of the Debian installer" and the
progress bar goes all the way.
Then it says "Detecting hardware", goes only to 95%, (at which point
it is saying "Skipping unavailable module "ide-floppy' for 'Linux
IDE floppy'") and there it hangs.
I waited 1 hour so it *really* had hung.
Need more info? Let me know..

I'm processing old installation reports, and have, finally, gotten to
yours. Thanks for talking the time to file an installation report.
I'm closing your installation report, which appeats to be due to a hang
during pcmcia startup. Newer versions of the installer prompt whether to
start pcmcia if run in expert mode, which should get you past the hang.
If you can, please try installing again using a current version of the
debian installer. I recommend the tc1 release, which you can find on our
web page, <http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/>. If you can, try
to reproduce the problems you reported using it, so we can verify that
they're all fixed. We look forward to your new installation report.
