Comments/Problems:
expert mode
Too small memory (32M).
I coped by removing all network modules after autodetection,
then removing all ide/pci modules, with the exception of piix.o,
before ide hardware detection.
Then a swap file and it run OK, till the kernel upload,
which didn't succed. It said "preparing new kernle choice, or smething
and then the main window poped up form behind leaving the left
and right edges of the message window visible.
The 3rd console said "Packages and Release downloaded, sorting packages", or something similar.
I'm in Poland, chossing English language, but Polish timezone. I would like if the non-expert install guessed Polish mirror based on the timezone, rather than on language, keyboard, etc.
Now I will revert to 20040306, because then the kernel choice worked
(although only with 2.4* kernels). Wow, I managed to grab 20040306 on some slow mirror. Great. :>
Cheers, Mikolaj
