Comments/Problems:

** 3 Problems in total: **

(1) I've used the nightly builds (>beta4) about 6 times for
installations on seperate occations within the last 2 weeks.
Everything works much better than previous versions. No problems when
it tried to probe my DHCP internet account. I'm now back at school
where my pppoe which isn't DHCP based and obviously it failed
detection.

Thankfully the pppoeconf package is unpacked before the initial reboot
and is available after the bootstrap. Ran pppoeconf and got my
connection. Still, though, I had to do this via virtual console. For
the first-time debian user, they may not know pppoeconf as the name to
get around this and will be stuck unable to do any sort of
net-install.


(2) Also X video modes couldn't be correcly setup for XF86Config-4.
Luckily I've backed up my config, and the working version is as
follows:

(3) My onboard sound couldn't be automatically detected until post
installation. I apt-get alsa and ran alsaconf and everything was
detected. Perhaps alsa should be included in the default install?

Hi Lucas Lee,

I'm processing old installation reports and noticed this one you
filed in 2004. I think all issues have been solved so I'm closing
the report with this message. Thanks for sending it.

This is still the case, I think. There is work in progress to
support installation via PPPoE though, which should cover automatic
setup of PPPoE in the installed system.

The PCI ID 8086:24d5 is listed in modules.pcimap of the 2.6.16
kernel in Debian. This should mean that it will now be detected
and have the correct module loaded automatically.

cheers,
Max
