It bootet and I got onto the first page of the usual installation (bootparameter = linux). I choosed german as my preferred language, changed the keyboard settings. Then the installer tried to detect my hardware and load the modules. For the reason that the notebook I am using got no floppy-drive, the installer stopped saying 'Detecting hardware [94%] "Skipping not available module 'ide-floppy' for 'Linux IDE floppy''. And then the installer freezes. Nothing works, I cannot change into the 2nd shell or so. I have to reboot. I tried to install it by using the 'expert'-installation but soon or later he tries to detect and then skip loading the floppy-module. And that's where he always freezes. By the way: Installing Debian 3.0r2 worked perfectly without problems.. Maybe for the reason that there he is not checking my floppy? I hope this will help you to fix this. Jens Gerdes
