Comments/Problems: All went well till the window to setup DHCP,
 I have tried 3 different boot cd's with the same error at the same place.. DHCP status indicator in install or setup window gets up to 6% very quickly and stops. the window indicates that this will take several minutes.. half hour later no change.. I have used Knoppix in the past with this machine and liked linux.. I tried to install Debian on a new drive as the only OS.. This is where my computer hung up.. I have sucessfully installed ubuntu and kubuntu on this same drive after I tried Debian.. and am learning as I go.. I am new to Linux but am an old timer (before Windows) using dos and cpm..(you may not have heard of cpm, Bill gates got his start with the purchase of this..)
 By the way, ubuntu and kubuntu installer looks id entical to your Debian installer.. Hope that you can help..
Thanks
jimivans

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.
