"hd-media" can be used for USB booting.

The "installation report template" assumes
that executing the lspci program is possible.

Mmm, that needs further investigation. ( on your hardware )
Switch to the second virtual console ( press ALT-F2 )
`ifconfig eth0 up`
`ifconfig eth0`
and E-mail us the output of those commands
ALT-F1 brings you back to installer

Have you access to "live CD" like Gnoppix?
"Open a console[2]" and use

discovery between 19 and 23 augustus

[1] it is poorly documented in the installation manual
[2] geek speak, nessecary for selecting the next step
[3] study to output,
you know how disc controller PCI-ID looks, when you see one.
NOTICE:
Shops do installations of computers.
Installing Linux is not more difficult then Microsoft Windows,
the difference is that you are doing it yourself
because you didn't buy a pre-installed GNU/Linux computer.
