Comments/Problems:
I encounter 'red screen at boot', as you mentioned in
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/errata.en.html,
with booting linux26.
At the configuration of network, I prefer to have a menu
about the choice whether I use DHCP or not.
I wish to thank you for making a useful installer.
Sincerely
TANAKA, Atushi
