Problems:
=========
The laptop hangs during boot. Could be solved with boot parameter "nolapic".
After the first reboot the wireless card is incorrectly configured due
to a typo in /etc/network/interfaces:
wireless-mode adhoc
needs to be
wireless-mode ad-hoc
(note the dash)
additionally the essid is set to "any":
wireless-essid any
although I configured it during install with my local essid.
Well, at least my card needs to have the essid to be configured
in order to work correctly.
Apart from these two things it is really cool to install via
a wireless pcmcia card...
Comments:
=========
NTFS
----
It would be nice to be able to integrate a ntfs partition
during partioning (only fat16 and fat32 offered as options)
Resizing of the ntfs partition worked w/o problems - but
I had to ask google where to find that option.
Scanning CD
-----------
Scanning a DVD takes very long and is happening twice - once during
first boot and once after first reboot. That's why I'm using the
Network Install...
