Comments/Problems:
Had a successful install or Sarge in February on this box using beta 2, but decided to try a clean re-install as everything broke a couple of weeks ago when I did a dist-upgrade after xwindows 4.3 was moved into testing. I have tried 9 different daily build snapshots of botyh the full net install iso and the business card version, they all fail on confinguring the network with a message that the VIA Rhine module is not yet available. Finally got a successful reinstall by going back to beta 2. I also discovered that on multiple attempts the installer seems to skip forward to steps completed on an earlier attempt. I only get a successful install if I first wipe the hard drive in between attempts using the maintenance utility on the Seagate CD that came with the drive.
