(When someone tells me how to mount a USB pen drive, or eventually,
where the automounted file system is, I'll include the full output as
network doesn't work (My problem!) and floppy is not included. I
tried to boot /dev/sda with fstype vfat with no success, reformated
the stick to ntfs and tried to mount it with ntfs, but still no luck
even though it seems to be recognised correctly. I'll give more info
when I become desperate.)

Comments/Problems:
Everything seemed to go ok until after booting and trying to get apt
to work via the network, except DHCP of course. The network module
(3c59x) is loaded and ifconfig looks ok, but with ping I can get
nowhere.
This box is known to have had a problem with detecting its network
card, but I thought that this kernel 2.6.8.1 had this fixed. Asus'
specs says that the LAN is: "10/100 Mbps Integrated (ATI IXP200
integrated MAC + RealTek 8201BL PHY)", but the network stuff is in
some way integrated with the Graphics card: "ATI Radeon 9100
integrated graphics w/DVO support".
I got the exact same behavior for pre-rc1.
I'll probably add a dedicated, old, network card and try again, but
this is as far as I got with the box itself. Apart from the network
problem the installation proses worked quite well.
