Comments/Problems:
This laptop has one pcmcia slot: which means I can have the cdrom
plugged in, or the network card, but not both at once.
I found in a couple of tries that I had to select "other" for
networking, and skip the two networking steps, in order to install
the base system. (I tried telling it what module to use, and I
tried unplugging the cdrom and plugging in the network card; both
confused or froze the installer.)
The base system installed, I rebooted with CD unplugged and network
card plugged in, and now no network was configured. base-config
doesn't ask any networking questions, just says the system does not
seem to be connected to the internet.
I can't install packages from the CD, because it wants the wrong CD
name (apparently that's a known bug in beta3), but I can't install
from the network, or add security.debian.org to the sources list,
because it's convinced I have no network.
Could something be added to the installer stage after the first
reboot to ask again about a network? (Or perhaps use hotplug on a
system that has pcmcia, but that may be a lot to ask from a minimal
base system.) Failing that, could the initial base system install
have a category for "pcmcia network/configure later"? Even if I
had to choose the network driver[s] manually, that would help as
long as it didn't complain if that hardware wasn't currently there.

Description:
base-config - Debian base system configurator

Changes:
base-config (2.75) unstable; urgency=low
.
The "death march" release.
.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Adjust section to match overrides.
.
[ Colin Watson ]
* Exclude backup files and files under debian/ from the po build system,
and make sure executables are processed in a consistent order to avoid
lots of diff noise.
* Copy passwd/username, so that e.g. exim4-config still works after user
configuration moves to d-i (closes: #341130).
.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Remove the passwd reconfiguration code, user-setup handles this now in
d-i.
* Clean up the intro message to not mention stuff that the ever-shrinking
base-config no longer does.
.
[ Translations ]
* add Bengali translations (Progga <progga@BengaLinux.Org>)
* Updated Brazilian Portuguese translation.
* Updated French translation.
* Updated Galician translation.
* Updated Spanish translation.
* Updated Czech translation.
* Updated Vietnamese translation. Closes: #343844
* Updated Swedish translation. Closes: #344055
.
[ Man pages translations ]
* Updated Spanish. Closes: #341456
.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Drop debconf/priority propigation from d-i as d-i no longer propigates it.
Closes: #228839, #245164
* Depends on debconf 1.4.61, since this is the first version to default
the priority to high, which is the priority we need with this change.
Closes: #228839, #245164
* Remove debconf-seed menu item, mostly, taken over by preseed 1.11.
Closes: #276638
NOTE NOTE NOTE: This means that base-config/early_command is removed.
* Remove base-config/late_command too, for consistency.
* pkgsel moved into a udeb. Closes: #240700, #242718, #256315, #259871
Closes: #247037
* MTA reconfiguration is not necessary with current debootstrap, since
no MTA is installed as part of the base system, so the user will see the
MTA question as usual if their task selection/whatever causes a MTA to be
installed.
* The pon menu item is not useful, since base-config no longer accesses the
net to install packages. Closes: #299554
* Remove GDM language fixup code, since bug #265101 got fixed.
* base-config no longer does anything with the network.
Closes: #106875, #265908, #267242
* Some other bugs that no longer apply due to removed code in base-config:
Closes: #246880, #275543
* Remove d-i debconf variable copying code, now handled by pkgsel.
* base-config program left in for compatability with old d-i's and such for
now, but it's essentially a no-op and everything has moved into d-i.
(d-i also still uses validlocale from this package for now.)
Next step will be removing this package entirely...
