Comments/Problems:
This laptop has one pcmcia slot: which means I can have the cdrom
plugged in, or the network card, but not both at once.
I found in a couple of tries that I had to select "other" for
networking, and skip the two networking steps, in order to install
the base system. (I tried telling it what module to use, and I
tried unplugging the cdrom and plugging in the network card; both
confused or froze the installer.)
The base system installed, I rebooted with CD unplugged and network
card plugged in, and now no network was configured. base-config
doesn't ask any networking questions, just says the system does not
seem to be connected to the internet.
I can't install packages from the CD, because it wants the wrong CD
name (apparently that's a known bug in beta3), but I can't install
from the network, or add security.debian.org to the sources list,
because it's convinced I have no network.
Could something be added to the installer stage after the first
reboot to ask again about a network? (Or perhaps use hotplug on a
system that has pcmcia, but that may be a lot to ask from a minimal
base system.) Failing that, could the initial base system install
have a category for "pcmcia network/configure later"? Even if I
had to choose the network driver[s] manually, that would help as
long as it didn't complain if that hardware wasn't currently there.
