Sorry, I can't reinstall on the same machine at the moment, and I won't be
able to try an install on any machine for a couple of weeks.
For reference the machine used for the original installation was a Compaq
"DP4000 6333MX 3200/CDS UK".
The worst problem I had was trying to work out the required syntax for
giving a username and password to our web proxy when using the netinst
image. There was no help given at the prompt, nor were there any useful
error messages, and trying again required a reboot.
I haven't been able to get the machine to automatically reboot since
installing, so that's unlikely to be an installer problem, although it will
switch itself off nicely.
Sound seems to work fine after compiling the ALSA Generic ESS ES18xx driver
into the kernel.
I think the naming problem ("Britain" should be "United Kingdom") in Country
Chooser was fixed long ago.
HTH,
Roger
