Well, I'm not sure we can do much about this. Maybe increase the DHCP timeout on the second and subsequent tries....But, don't dream: netcfg bug log is huge and I'm not sure that someone will ever do this. > Previous system on the same two hard disks was OpenBSD 3.6.

This seems to suggest an issue with parted ability to read OpenBSD partition table (my very low knowledge of BSD systems reminds me they use "slices" or the like...) > Surprised that rsync was not automatically installed, but had no trouble > with "apt-get install rsync". That is quite normal behaviour. rsync is not part of the base system nor any standard tasks. I leave the install report opened in case someone would add information and maybe reassign it to parted or netcfg...
