2 problems with installation regarding network config and boot loaders
Greetings all,
First, I am not currently subscribed, so send me an email if you want to
ask questions.
I just tried an install based on a CD image found here
ftp://ftp.fsn.hu/pub/CDROM-Images/debian-unofficial/woody/
I would like to say that the overall feel seems to be improving, keep up
the great work.
There are some problems though, number one;
I currently live at the end of an ADSL connection, this requires pppoe.
However the install does not provide an exit during the network config
phase which I can bypass the setup network option. This is because I
have an ether net card (actually 2) installed and the installation
process assumes that I should be able to use it.
Proposed solution, either put pppoe in the base install or provide an
opt out in network configuration.
Secondly, I have multiple versions installed on multiple partitions and
GRUB is my friend. There does not appear to be an option (I believe
there used to be) where I can say "I already have a boot loader" and "
no I don't want to install one".
Proposed solution, put an option in the make bootable section for "I
already have a boot loader", or better yet, include grub (probably not
going to happen this late in the release cycle :-/ ).
Thanks again for all the great work. If anyone needs to contact me,

PS. I am cross posting to boot and testing, my apologies for any
duplications that pop up in your mail box.
