Comments/Problems: Installer did not find Compact Flash card or SD-card installed in
card reader. Only "hard disk" found was the USB memory I booted from.
Could not continue with the install, since target media was not detected. Still,
this is better than Lenny where installation ended in kernel panic after
getting network settings from DHCP (seems driver for ethernet is only in newer
kernels).

OK, that was what I suspected. Just wanted to confirm. Hence closing
the installation report.
Thanks for your report.
