Just for the record I'm not using floppies on this laptop (Did I mentionned it was a laptop ?). Also when using beta2 it works better. The first hardware detection fails to load the eepro100 module, but after I mount the CD and load the installer module, there is another hardware detection that loads the eepro100 module. So I'm not totally clear how this should work, but as far as I understand, when I mount the CD and load the installer modules, it should load this nic-extra-module that you are talking about and find the eepro100 module afterward. And if I'm correct the user is not given the option to choose this particular module. So either something change since beta2 that doesnt load this module this nic-extra-module ot I'm doing something differently that make it not load... > BTW, you can run lspci on a installed computer. I cant run it on the failed installation. Maybe that should be another bug. > I belief in education of users, telling them > they are flooding the people that they are asking > for help or a fix. Well, I'm not asking for help. I see it the other way: Debian people are asking install report to help debug. I could have taken any stable CD image to install debian, but instead I choose to try to help out, in my very small way, by trying out a daily build. Sorry if this was more harm than help. And I dont think I'm flooding. I think its a good practice to report logs with bug reports. I guess there is a matter of how much is too much, but the threshold is a matter of opinion or policy, and my personnal opinion is that 100K is OK. I'll redo the same anytime unless there is a policy that says who much is too much. But of course I probably wont anytime soon since I finally installed Debian from a beta2 snapshot. -- Thanks __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Get better spam protection with Yahoo!
