Then "Feel free to retry." pops up, and hitting Enter brings me to the main menu, where "Configure the network via DHCP" is selected. At this point I wander off to the familiar tty2 and look at the network configuration. I notice that the 'tulip' driver is loaded, instead of the usual 'de4x5' that I use with this card. I then installed Woody on the same system, upgraded to Herbert Xu's 2.4.22-1-k6 kernel package, and tried to use the 'tulip' driver; I never got a DHCP address. Unloading 'tulip' and loading 'de4x5' had it working again. Back to d-i... I figure it wouldn't hurt to try running 'pump' by hand, to get an IP address, so I did: ~ # pump -i eth0 pump: error while loading shared libraries: libpopt.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I decided to try and continue the installation without network access. I returned to tty1 and selected 'Partition a hard drive', and did so, then was brought back to "Feel free to retry." "Configure the network via DHCP" was selected again. I decided to ignore this again, and selected "Configure and Mount Partitions" from the menu. I successfully configured and mounted one swap and four ext3 partitions, then was returned to the menu again. I selected "Install the base system", but of course, without network access, this business card CD was going nowhere. At this point I decided to download the "net install" image and try that instead. I'll file a seperate report for that one, unless it goes exactly the same. Thanks for working on debian-installer, - Keegan
