I wish i could tell you. If there is some way i can get logs from the
installation or see console output i'd be happy to provide you the
details.
At this point the computer just restarts, thats all information i have.
The installer seems flaky in some ways. Sometimes it just stalls (again i
wish i could give you some logs and information but i don't know how to
access them). If i try the installation again it runs through without
problems. Once installed the system is rock solid though.

Thats good news. I tried the three network cards i had laying around and
none worked. But i'll stick to the Netgear i'm using at the moment as it
seems to work better than the d-link i previously used. For one it gets a
dhcp adress with the older images.
I could have a look at the netdde makefile and see if i can help out
there. But don't count on anything. I have used linux for 13 years now and
i have at least picked picked up something. I can read c/c++ code and have
a basic understanding on how it works but i couldn't write a single line
of code on my own.
I'm trying my best to get my brother onboard though. And he has programmed
a lot of linux stuff from kernel modules to... Well, basically anything.
