Comments/Problems:
During this install I had to access internet through another computer
(through NAT/ipmasq), and dns resolv did not work (quite possible due to
me). But it would be great if there where a fallback to ip-numbers for
debian ftp-servers in situations like this.
Another minor issue was that the default debconf frontend does not seem
to be installed. Please change default or make the default install by
default.
debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Gnome
debconf: (Unable to load Gnome -- is libgnome2-perl installed?)
debconf: falling back to frontend: Dialog
Preconfiguring packages ...
--
Inspection showed that indeed, libgnome2-perl was not installed by default.
