Comments/Problems:
The splash screen has no text. There is simply a picture of
Debian against a black background. Even when typing in characters, no
characters appear on the screen. Only through "F1" was I able to go get some
insight as to what to do. But someone else had to tell me to hit "F1" because
there was no text/help instructions.
When running through the initial install (before the reboot)
the network configuration found 3 network cards: onboard VIA-RHINE(eth0),
Lite-On(eth1), and a FireWire interface(eth2). So I configured eth1 with an IP
address since that was where the ethernet cable is plugged in. Upon reboot, the
network cards were now: eth0 (VIA-RHINE), FireWire(eth1), and Lite-On(eth2).
Because this part of the install asks to configure apt, I chose to install over
a local mirror (http://debian.lanl.gov) and subsequently ran into problems
because the network was not configured. Only by going to TTY2 (alt+F2), logging
in as root, and modifying /etc/network/interfaces, was I able to get the
network back up. This error occurred both when using "linux26" and "expert26"
as the initial boot options. I believe the cause was that modules were loaded
in a different order upon reboot. To a beginner, this is a serious problem
because the network was working (initial boot), and then it wasn't (after
reboot), with no way to change the network settings except through a different
TTY.
Hope these comments help.

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful
The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet.
In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.
You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.
If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.
Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
