Did you remember to also use the four driver disks, in addition to the
root and rescue disks?

I've installed a number of machines (>20) directly as woody without
upgrading from stable.

HTH,

No, I didn't "remember". I saw them there in the directory along
with the rescue and floppy. I was expecting to see, also, about
eleven "base" floppy images. I downloaded what I saw. I fed the
driver floppies into the computer when they were asked for. I had
done several installs of potato recently, so there was not anything
about to process that seemed amiss. But when it came time to
connect to the internet, I did not see a way to initiate dialing. It
appeared that the install script expected that my computer be on a
LAN that had routing to the internet already set up, which, of course,
is not what I have.
