The installer worked well until I got to the DHCP network configuration. I received a message that the DHCP configuration had timed out. I've gotten this message before on my main system when testing d-i (rc 1 or 2, not reported). Tried again, but no luck. I would do this manually, but I don't know how. The installer didn't give me an option for changing the timeout. I've used DHCP on this LAN before, but have reason to believe the router (SMC 7004VWBR) is slow to respond.
As much as I want to support Debian, I'm a bit put out about the bug reporting procedure. Is there a good way to report bugs without sending email info? Would it be feasible to allow the installer to prepare the above information, and allow users to just save it and annotate it before sending?
I applaud everyone's effort on Debian and d-i in particular. I really want to learn Linux. The main obstacle has always been getting Linux to a known state, and then being able to incrementally test and return the system to a known backup state. Once the installer runs to completion and I can image my system, I feel like I'll be home free. I am a pretty technical person, but I'm not steeped in Linux know-how, despite having run it before and following it since as far back as 1995.

That's great news! (Well, kind of.) I'll close this bug, then.
