						Comments/Problems:
						
						Installation worked really fine, except that I first had to install only the basic packages, until I bootet the first time in my new system to change the MAC-address of my NIC to the one my provider knows to get network access with an IP I get through DHCP. It would be great if there would be a ifconfig version in the first bootup, which allows me to change the MAC-address when the module got loaded the first time. The command I use is "ifconfig eth0 hw ether <MAC-address>

The busybox-cvs-udeb package has been removed from Debian testing, unstable and
experimental, so I am now closing the bugs that were still opened
against it.

For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/331153 . That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed, and suggestions of possible replacements.

Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.

Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
