Comments/Problems:
Network card - default kernel in Lenny doesn't support Atheros L1e
Ethernet 10/100/1000 Mb/s card
Partitioning HDD - using dmraid - everything is ok beside the fact that
during creating a partition manually there is no possibility to set
anything - not even mount point
automatic partitioning works fine, however.
Debian Installer is going into right direction, over past 8 years most
of annoying things were fixed. Adding some more advanced support for
SATA Raid would be nice as
many people use both Linux and Windows on the same machine and like to
benefit from controller provided soft raid.
There is one small glitch in the expert installer mode [text] - When
installer ask on some steps for loading pcima modules, after selecting
"no", the installer still ask for parameters
for those modules despite of not loading them.
best regards
