Comments/Problems:
The 2004-01-15 boot netinst image did not even boot. Knoppix boots just fine. From
the discussion at http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2005/01/msg00259.html, I see
that this is happening on some vmware installations also.
Feel free to ask me more questions if this is not detailed enough.
Thanks,
wt
