Comments/Problems:

Incorrect detection of PCMCIA interface
=======================================
During the first hardware detection phase I get a msgbox titled:
   Detect and mount CD-ROM
with message:
   This computer seems to have a PCMCIA interface. ...
   Start PC Card services?

The message is shown again during "Detect network hardware".

As this is a desktop with no PCMCIA support, this message should not be shown.


DHCP fails
==========
On this image, DHCP is broken. The progress bar goes to 100% fairly quickly and
then I get a message that DHCP has failed. Retrying does not help.
AFAICT the module for my network card was loaded correctly.

DHCP has always worked for me with all previous images I tested.
I ran Beta 4 immediately after this install, and for that install DHCP worked
perfectly, so the problem is not in my network or DHCP server.

netcfg is version 0.63 on this image.
