Comments/Problems:
Note 0:
The new 2.6-only businesscard image is groovy. It's certainly
smaller and sleeker. But there are still situations where a 2.6
kernel won't work, and 2.4 is still needed. (see Bug#261463:
"Missing drivers on powerpc 2.6 businesscard install") Would it
be possible to make a 2.4-only CD available?
Note 1:
It still asks for the "Linux floppy" driver module (twice) at the
"Detect Network hardware" phase and the "Detect hardware"
(looking for hard disks) phase. (See Bug#261463)
Note 2:
Manual network configuration still doesn't work! (See
Bug#261460: "Non-DHCP network config step of d-i is broken")
Note 3:
Because this is an OldWorld machine, I use BootX. This works just
fine for me...
Note 4:
Why is it necessary to have the partitioner "Check the swap
space"? (See Bug#261448)
