Comments/Problems:
When I gave apt the adresses of the locations to use to install the
packages from, it downloaded the package description files OK, but
then wouldn't let me continue onto the next page of the installation
without me having to cancel that operation and then manually tell it
to go onto the next operation, which seemed a bit odd.
When it rebooted it did not load the network driver. I had to add an
alias "eth0 3c59x" into my modutils directory and update modules.conf.
No other problems apart from that, and some of the formatting looks a
bit off on some of the screens.
Thanks
Matt Nottingham
