Comments/Problems: <My network is all manual, no DHCP. After inputting manual values, got msg that the process failed. Tried using several different images,media and machines, all unsuccessful. Appeared that the installer saw the NIC's (Realtek 8139 on machine 1, an Intel Pro 1000 on machine 2) but could not set up the IP address, netmask, gateway and name server.>
<Used a Stable Sarge boot disk instead and it worked like a charm.>
