With the ISO from the link above, the network detection is ok.
However, it asks me about floppy module, but I have no floppy... I
unselect the floppy module, I say no to PCMCIA services, and the DCCP (with
Ethernet) works. I am doing the installation and keep you informed.
Sorry, what's the difference between netboot and netinst? Is there a Web
page explaining that? At http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/
netboot is absent... I think it would be useful to explain at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ in one sentence each of the
types of boot.
netboot is a very minimal image which leads you up to the network
settings, then downloads all remaining components from a network
mirror.
netinst is a CD image that allows installing a Debian *base* system
*without* the network. We all agree this is a kinda confusing name..:-)
And businesscard? Can this info be put on
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer? It takes only 2-3 lines,
but avoid all confusion (I imagine that many people put this
question)... I can write myself these sentences if you wish.
Now, pursuing the installation:
- In modules to load, live-installer (Install the base system) seems
bizarre. In fact, I AM installing the base system, so why proposing
this as module? I imagine live-installer means another thing, I propose
to explain better what is it.
- In modules to load, I have selected: eject-udeb, irda, cdrom-checker.
After configure the clock, it goes back to "Detect and mount CD-ROM"
instead of choosing the next item in the menu. Upon ENTER, it says that
"The CD-ROM drive contains a CD which cannot be used for
installation..." So I go myself after "Configure the clock", i.e. to
"Detect disks". After that, it goes back again to "Detect and
mount CD-ROM" and I manually change again to the item after "Detect disks".
- The laptop has 2GB of memory, so it creates 4GB swap. This is a
kernel question, but is it really necessary to have 4GB of swap? 2GB of
memory is already sufficient to execute 2 linux systems in
parallel :o) My previous laptop had 512MB of RAM, and 512MB RAM + 1GB
swap it is still less than 2GB of memory of current laptop.
