Then "Feel free to retry." pops up, and hitting Enter brings me to the main menu, where "Configure the network via DHCP" is selected. Note: I -do- have a working DHCP server, and it works fine under the Woody installer, when I select the 'de4x5' driver. 'discover' selects 'tulip' for me, and it doesn't work. I've been through this once before on the same hardware; see #219903. This time, I try to select "Configure a static network" as a work-around, but that also leads me to "Feel free to retry." I'm going to try and continue the installation without a network connection. I've blanked the partition table before beginning. I select "Automatically partition hard drives" from the main menu. It seems to work; "Feel free to retry" pops up again, and I'm dropped back to the main menu, where "Configure the network via DHCP" is selected. That happens every time a menu item completes. Next I select "Install the base system" from the main menu, it installs and says "feel free...", then I select "Install the kernel" and it does so. "Feel free." "Install GRUB boot loader on a hard disk." "Feel free." All of the defaults were correct. "Finish the installation and reboot." The system comes up normally, and base-config runs OK. I purge discover, add my NIC driver to /etc/modules, set up /etc/network/interfaces and everything works great! Thanks for working on debian-installer, - Keegan
