I'm not aware of this issue and haven't encountered it last time I tried. > I also found that the old installer bug which prevents CD-ROM drive > detection on Atari is still there.

(You can use > falconide and /dev/hdX instead.) Yes, this is known and I currently don't know how to fix this. Again, if someone knows how to make the installer load the modules, please let me know. I assume the problem is that there is no autodetection here so udev can't load the modules automatically. > I had to select "no network card" after network detection failed.

Yes. This step sets up the download repositories.
