Bug#488706: 5.0beta2 netinst laptop Toshiba Tecra 8000 RTL-8169 ethernet PCMCIA not recognized
Thanks for your answer!
From memory, it detected the CD and after made a message (I remember
very well the message, I was really surprised) that it was not able to
detect the ethernet card. I continued and it blocked definitively when
it needed something it was not able to find on the CD. I tryed again
but I have not been able to even boot the kernel, I have the impression
the CD driver is finished (ie the computer).
Have a nice day,
Jean-Bernard
