I've been told that my problems with using netinst.iso at

was frozen as of June 30th [2].
I went looking for the frozen version of netinst.iso.
Development of the installer (bug fixes) continues during
the freeze.
This
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/wheezy_di_alpha1/i386/iso-cd/debian-wheezy-DI-a1-i386-netinst.iso
is fine for you to use. A beta version is on the horizon.
Thank you. If things don't work as *I* desire, I didn't want
to hear that I used wrong image ;/
Has anyone actually used netinst (any generation) to install
Debian (any generation) to a virgin laptop when the *ONLY*
available internet was using a WiFi hotspot? ???
All my attempts have failed at DHCP negotiation.
The same physical laptop (and at least one other) has
happily connected at the identical physical location using
Debian LiveCD, Ubuntu LiveCD, Slacko 5.3.3 LiveCD and (IIRC)
Porteus 1.2 LiveCD.
I did end up with the very minimal CLI install. I.E. I can
login and run
HELP
or
HELP command
Any members of development team (or designees) within 200
road miles of Springfield, MO?
I'm more than willing to demonstrate problem to qualified
witnesses - who knows, it may be "operator errer" ;/
I'm now retired, but in my 40's I went back to school. Two
of my profs were discussing me and one said "You know, this
young man can be persistent." The other replied, after
significant pause, "Yes, about what he wants to be." I
_want_ to be !
