Hello,

I reinstalled my Thinkpad T60 with a 7.0 i386 netinst CD.
Installation was mostly very successful, good work as always!
But I want to mention two things:

1.
Since the netinst CD was lacking firmware for my wlan module
(iwlwifi-3945-2.ucode), I used an USB stick containing the firmware file.
But the usb stick was not automatically mounted. I had to mount it manually
from the vt2. After doing this, grabbing the file from the stick automatically
went fine.


2.
When it comes to choosing a hostname, I read this:
	The hostname is a single word that identifies your system to the 
	network. If you don't know what your hostname should be, consult 
	your network administrator. [...]
The default value chosen from the installer was "IBM-T60-Holger".

The hostname is not to be a "single word", hyphens and underlines are
also allowed. So one can also use two words separated by a hyphen, for
example.

That said, the template should probably be changed?
Something like:

- The hostname is a single word that identifies your system to the 
+ The hostname is a term that identifies your system to the

Holger

yeah, and I don't find “term” much better anyway.

As for the firmware thing, we have many bug reports about issues in that
area and that should be worked on at some point, so I don't think there's
a need to keep this installation report open.

As always: thanks for the report, anyway.

Mraw,
KiBi.
