Comments/Problems:
The swap partition (hda5) was made correctly, stated correctly in fstab and
used as swap, but the type was left as "Linux" instead of "Linux swap".

Further testing showed this: if you don't specify the nameserver,
then installing the base system via http fails (this is OK :-).
But if you redo the network config step, this time specifying the
NS, the http fetchfile fails again!

I was installing potato from scratch with the 5 floppies. I
choose the network to retrieve the base system, I leaved the
default (http.us.debian.org) as the server, but the download
failed because the network card was unplugged.
Then I plugged the card, but
enerate a summary plus a
description which surely override those automatically generated.

Or, may be, releasing an operating system where it's hard to
figure out how to use the serial or parallel port is critical

Let me know how and if I can help...

1 upgraded to kernel 2.2.13, lp modprobes
fine, loading only parport.

different environment?

in the next tries.

I downloaded the latest (2.2.15) boot-floppies (boot, root,
dev1-3) and
started a fresh installation. During the modconf step I noticed
some
glitches:
- Some modules dependancies are not resolved automatically.
Noticeably lp is not loaded if I don't load parport_pc
manually.
- A lot of modules

When dbootstrap executes "Configure the Base System", if you

Using older boot floppies I destroied my Solaris partition,
because I formatted hda5 thinking it was the Linux native,
instead it was a Solaris slice.
Boot-floppies 2.2.15 solves this bug (#61387), but I think a
