It might be that even PPPoE should work for a netinst, IIRC it didn't
work for me, but perhaps I'm confusing it with something different I
tested. However, 2 Hours ago somebody had issues with the Internet
access for a Debian, that already is installed, take a look at the
thread "Netbook acer ao-722 bz-893". Internet issues aren't seldom.
Downloading a CD or a DVD can be done with a good 56k connection or in
an Internet Cafe. Getting an Internet connection for XP doesn't mean,
that it's easy or even possible to get an Internet connection with
Linux. Btw. I'm unable to establish an ad-hoc connection. I'm using
PPPoE for my ADSL modem to connect Linux to the Internet, it's easy to
do and a very fast and good connection, but ad-hoc to an iPad 2 doesn't
work.
