Comments/Problems:
I've fetched
http://people.debian.org/~tfheen/d-i/images/2003-01-31/archive/net-1440.img,
which seems to be the same as
http://people.debian.org/~tfheen/d-i/images/2003-01-17/archive/net-1440.img
: it has got the same timestamp. Apparently, the daily build is failing
since jan 17.
I did
# dd if=net-1440.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1024 conv=sync; sync
and booted from the just created floppy.
System booted fine (apart from these error messages:
Setting up filesystem, please wait ...
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k net-pf-1, errno=2
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k net-pf-1, errno=2

My nic triggered the tulip module to get loaded, which went fine. It went
up after running pump.
The menu now read:
1. Configure network hardware
2. Configure the network via DHCP
3. Configure a static network
4. Load installer modules (default)
5. Execute a shell
In the menu, I choose the default: Load installer modules. In the
presented submenu, I choose ``net-retriever'' (the only choice offered).
What I got was:
wget: wget -c -q http:///debian/dists/sarge/main/debian-installer/binary-i386/Packages.gz -O /var/cache/anna/Packages.gz
wget: : No address associated with name

Segmentation fault
postinst exited with status 35584
Debian Installer Main Menu
It did _not_ ask me to select a mirror; apparently,
choose-mirror.postinst was not run.
Other remarks: no nano was available from the shell (although support
for this was announced). When starting a shell, it complained:
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
and indeed, doing a
ping some.host.name
was a bad idea: it didn't respond to ^C , I had to force my system to
reboot... ;-P .
Bye,
Joost
