Comments/Problems:
Creating the floppies:
bootfloppy-image.img (boot)
floppy-image.img (root)
net_drivers-image.img (net drivers)
The root floppy has what I consider a vague name.
Also, the rawrite2.exe tool wouldn't read the image files from the hard
drive because the filename was too long. I had to rename and shorten
the image file names before I could create them under windows. Maybe
this is more of a problem with rawrite, but I digress.
Configure Network HW:
I have a D-Link DE-220 ISA Card. The address/irq is 0x300, 11.
The detection failed (its not a PNP card).
Choosing the module 'ne' also failed, because it did not prompt me to
enter the io port and irq.
I was able to get the card to work by using insmod with the correct
io/irq from the command line.
Load installer modules:
Some of the mirrors listed (I tried 2 in canada) don't have the
installer files. (At least thats whats returned in the error message)
While downloading files from the mirror, suddenly the installer quits to
a console screen with the message "Terminated" repeating over and again
once every few seconds.
This is as far as I got. I tried again a few times but invariably I end
up with this "Terminated" stuff. Looks like I'm running out of memory.
If I cat meminfo again and again between "terminated" messages, I can
see the last free bit of memory get sucked up and then- POOF: Terminated.
Hope this report helps. Any chance on getting the new installer to fit
inside 24MB of RAM?

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, after determining that:
- Some problems you reported are no longer present in current versions of t=
he
installer.
- You tried to do something unsupported with the Debian installer.
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.
