Comments/Problems:
==================

Initial boot worked:
--------------------
 Fine after the increase of the TFTP buffer size ( was #256263 )
 2004-06-29 dies with repeating
  Segment fault
  Segment fault
  Segment fault
 2004-06-28 is Okay

Configure network HW:
---------------------
 Onboard Ethernet was detected fine, that is what I used for the rest of
 the installation. 

 The Airport card detection give an error.
 According the logfile (I forget how the switch virtual consoles on iBook )
 all the Airport card modules where loaded.

 Now the computer is installed, I can connect to the webserver of my
 access point. (
  # no extra modules inserted
  ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.100
  telnet 192.168.1.1 http
 )

Partition hard drives:
----------------------
 A 20Gb disk got a 5 Gigabyte root file system an 14Gb /home f.s.
 I shall fill a seperate bugreport for it.
