Comments/Problems: 2 Main bugs.
* No graphics starting page still. (Since #248363 beta-4)
* Now ISA PCMCIA network card is properly detacted now.
(Thus closing #248363)
* Still CDROM mount error experienced. (*** BUG1 ***)
(unmount and mount yieleded OK result.
CD was valid only after remount)
* debootstrap look for Release file in wrong location. (*** BUG2 ***)
(/cdrom/dists//Release instead of /cdrom/dists/sarge/Release)
* Did not bother to install grub manually.
Key hardware issues:
* CD-ROM has slow spin-up (Also this could not read CD-RW as boot
media)
Key install process info:
* ALT-F3 screen ends with following screen:
....
insmod isofs
/dev/cdroms/cdroms0: open failed: Read-only file system
No matching file system found
/dev/cdroms/cdroms0: open failed: Read-only file system
No volume group found
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
modprobe: failed to load modules floppy
