Install report with pre2



Hi,

just one minor glitch:  I had to use boot floppys because a machine
had trouble booting from CD.  This worked fine using the three provided
disk images (boot + root + cddriver).  But from the moment when control
went over to the CD the language and keyboard settings were lost.  I
had to go back to these settings and then all went fine.

A further question: IMHO the only possibility to use DMA for IDE disks
is hdparm.  Why is hdparm not installed by default and verified the
DMA modus to gain maximum performance from modern IDE drives?

Kind regards

         Andreas.
