Comments/Problems:


* I entered fixed IP configuration for my local network and IPs for
  name servers during installation but IP addresses of nameservers were
  not written into /etc/resolv.conf afterwards. I think this is rather
  confusing for somebody who is not familiar with networking.

* I am accustomed to LILO and not to GRUB and when GRUB configuration
  started I couldn't see how to select LILO (I would prefer if I could
  choose explicitly and not to return from GRUB back to to the main
  installation menu)

* after successful download of Debian packages when configuring
  pcmcia-cs package I used the option 'ask' and then the installation
  halted. I had to switch the NB off and after restart and new download
  of packages the installation finished without a problem.

  I used the same installation CD for a Fujitsu Notebook without any problems

* I failed to install the system with kernel 2.6 on my NB
