Comments/Problems:
1) The PCI-Card of the SATA-Controller (Adaptec 1210SA [Silicon Image chip]),
was not detected and thus I could not even install it. SATA has been around
for quite a while by now and should be supported IMHO.
2) Also I am wondering, why when booting with "expert26" at the boot prompt,
I am able to choose at the network hardware detection IDE, Floppy, USB, etc
modules where only network modules make sense.
3) Could "ipchains" not be installed with a Kernel >= 2.4?
4) Last of all I am wondering if it is possible to automate at least most of
the things for generating installation reports, e. g. by some shell scripts ;)
