Comments/Problems:

The manual (non-dhcp) configuration option of the "config network"
step is broken.

Here is a blow-by-blow account:

1) Boot 2.6 kernel and initrd copied from CD using BootX, with
   DEBCONF_PRIORITY=medium

2) answer questions til we come to main menu topic "Configure the network"

3) Answer "Auto configure network with DHCP?" with "no"

4) Answer questions til we come to "Is this information
   correct?". Since it is correct, answer "yes".

5) This takes us back to the main menu with "Configure the network"
   hilighted again!

6) Switching to the F2 console, we see (with "ifconfig" and "route")
   that the network interface has been configured as we requested.

7) two possibilities:

   a) If we just hit "return":

     1) We are asked if we want DHCP (again).  Going to console F2
        shows that the network has been de-configured.

     2) we answer "no" (again) to the DHCP question, and we go thru the
        same set of questions again. Winding us back at step 5 (again).

   b) If we manually (down-arrow key) move to "Choose a mirror", and
      hit return, we wind up at step 7a (again)!

Am I doing something wrong?

Very strange!
