Hello,
I would like to install a debian (network install) starting with a USB key.
The file : http://www.debian.org/distrib/netinst
gives a link to : http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/main/installer-i386/current/images/
From reading the MANIFEST file, I guess I then have to go in the 'hd-media' directory and I download :
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/boot.img.gz
I flash the USB key and boot the target computer with it. The installation runs and asks for and ISO image... apparently he did not understand that I want a NETWORK install ! I don't have an ISO image.
So I go in the next menu where I can ask to detect the network hardware. The installer says he can not detect my ethernet card (even though this is a working Realtek 8139 rev 10)
So, I did not manage to do the network install...
Could you please tell how to make it work ?
(this gives me the strange feeling that the good things fade... I am pretty sure that I managed such a USB/netinstall one year ago on the same computer ...)
