Comments/Problems:
Major problem was bad symlinks on the installation .iso.
This may be my fault, I have filed the details separately.
The installation sticks at this point, it keeps returning to
red-background error screen, with the message
"No installer components found"
A separate problem:
The keymapping for en_AU is defaulting to dvorak.
It may be an off-by one indexing error (dvorak comes right
after British English in the list).
But I think American English is probably the sanest default.
This can be resolved manually, e.g. by booting with
boot: linux DEBCONF_PRIORITY=medium
Possible problem:
I booted with a Cardbus (32-bit PCMCIA) network card (3Com, 3CCFE575BT-D)
in place. This was not detected, I was asked no questions about network
configuration.
