Comments/Problems:
- When using static network configuration one is not allowed to leave the gateway empty (though this is suggested). The error message says "malformed IP address".
- Tried using German as installation language, but some texts are too long and hide other dialog items (e.g. in setting debconf- priority the selection list is invisible). (might apply to d-i 20040314 only)
- The evms-udeb links /lib/libevms-2.3.so.0 to libevms.so instead of libevms-2.3.so.0.0. Furthermore libncurses(5?) is missing and the "EVMS module for debian-installer" does not work at all. Fixing the two library issues makes evmsn run (though it does not really work, due to lacking kernel support), the d-i module remains broken.
