Comments/Problems:
Note 0:
Thanks for putting 2.4 back on the CD.
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")
I continued using DHCP.
Note 3:
main menu step "partition hard drives" fails. Nothing happens and
it keeps returning to "partition hard drives"
