Comments/Problems:
Hi,
DHCP network configuration fails with message "No DHCP
client was found. This package requires pump or
dhcp-client."
CTRL-ALT-F4 console reads (among other cryptic
messages) :
main-menu [9246]: WARNING **: Configuring 'netcfg'
failed with error code 1
and
main-menu [1753]: DEBUG: resolver (dhcp-client-udeb):
package doesn't exist (ignored)
CTRL-ALT-F1 console reads nothing looking relevant.
Then I configured network as fixed-IP using
IP/mask/gw/dns and name/domain retrieved from the
existing system (IP is bound to my network card MAC
adress). Configuration was OK but ineffective : d-i
could not retrieve anything from ftp.fr.debian.org,
and "wget http://www.debian.fr"; in the CTRL-ALT-F2
console yields "host name lookup failure" after a
while.
I have been surfing the debian-boot mailing list
archive, but could not find anything related. Do you
have any idea about this strange problem ?
Thanks !
bertrand

Please do _not_ use the "testing" images, but only images linked from:
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer
The testing images are known to be broken and will not be fixed until
preparation for the first D-I Beta release for Lenny starts.
In general testing images are only to be used for pre-release testing and
not at other times.
Closing your report as this is not an issue that needs to be fixed.
Cheers,
FJP
