Comments/Problems:

<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
      and ideas you had during the initial install.>

For the network card (a Intel PRO (e100)) the installer said, that there is 
firmware missing. In 
your description I found, that the installer will ask to load the drivers from 
a medium.
I installed this system minimum 5 times, because I tried to find these drivers 
and made several errors.
But then I found them, copied them on a usb as the pc does not have floppy. But 
now that I am ready, the installer
does not ask anymore to load the drivers.

It seems to me, that when I choose the onboard nic the question would be 
displayed, as I tried this once. 
But then - in the meaning to work around the problem - I installed a e100 
(Intel) nic. The installer then asks, which nic
I want to use and I select the Intel. After that, the installer unfortunately 
does NOT ask to install the driver... 

For the onboard nic I did not find the drivers at all... so I should stick with 
the Intel, but now
I am unsure, how to install them. If I just copy the files into 
/lib/firmware/e100, the drivers will not 
be automatically updated, as I understand from your manual.


The installation of the boot loader did correctly recognise, that there is a XP 
and a Ubuntu Installation
on the system. It then sais that it should be safe to overwrite the MBR or so. 
I say OK and after
reboot there are only four lines and all for starting Debian. XP and Ubuntu are 
completely missing.....

Best regards
