Comments/Problems:
When I first put the CD into my cd-writer (Ricoh MP7320A), the
installation-programm couldn't recognize that it was a
install-medium/paket-source/whatever when it tried to find packages on
it. Then I put the CD into the dvd drive (BenQ) and it worked.
The grub-installer was not able to produce a floppy disk when I
entered /floppy /dev/floppy /dev/floppy/0 (fd0) or anything else.
So, since I still have Win on my computer, I was forced to make my own
grub floppy.
"Install logs and other status info is available
in /var/log/debian-installer/."
Do you want me to send these files?? Hmmm.. i don't know so: I do not,
because they are pretty large.
Thank you for your work!
