I tried to install from CD iso. > 1) A freeze when it is detecting network hardware which I can bypass > with CTRL-C (in the past this is when I would have been prompted to > provide a driver for my ethernet card) I've found this solution: 1) download the right firmware package (my ethernet card is Realtek RTL8111/8168B, and the firmware is in the deb file firmware-realtek_0.36_all.deb), 2) extract the deb file with ar and tar, and put the files in a store device (usb, hd, etc...) 3) start installing debian testing with expert mode 4) skip detecting network and conf 5) ctrl-alt-F2 and try to mount the device where we put the firmware. If mount fails (Invalid argument...), go head in the next installation step, until mount works 6) copy lib/firmware directory (extracted from deb file) in /lib/firmware 7) go in the detect network step > 2) it gets to "Starting up the Partitioner" and stalls at 40% copy and past the errors you can see in console 4 (ctrl-alt-F4).
