Comments/Problems:
I installed using a 3Com pcmcia wired ethernet card. The first
stage install went fine. The reboot went fine except the
network connection failed. ('does not seem to be currently
connected'). I was then offered ppp as an option, but not dhcp.
That is the install floppies found the network but the
installed system did not.
I switched to tty2 and only had to run dhclient to make the connection
succeed. I switched back to tty1 and, after backing out a few
steps, the installation continued and completed OK.
I then deleted the linux partitions and started the floppy install
a second time. The same thing happened. I did it yet again with the
same result.
I think I remember being asked whether the computer would have a
permanent internet connection or not, on the first time through,
but was not asked that on either of the subsequent two installs.
If I _was_ asked that, I don't remember how I answered.
This would be very discouraging for someone of little experience:
('It found the network when I used the floppies. Why doesn't it
find it now?').
Could there be a dhcp offer at the same place where there is a ppp
offer? Or record the method that worked at the first stage and
transmit that to the intalled system?

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful
The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet.
In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.
You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.
If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.
Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
