If you're installing from a netboot installer, that means the installer won't be able to go out and get the rest of what it needs to finish installation.

Can you log in? If so, you have installed Debian, although it might be a very minimal Debian. Can you ping anything (like "ping 8.8.8.8"? Ctrl-C to stop the ping attempts.)? If so, we can probably pick up the pieces from here (try "tasksel", and installing the X11 windowing system/Gnome/KDE/etc). If you can't ping anything, your networking is still broken, and we'll need more details. -- > Jakub Kuzmicki > -- Kent West <")))>< Westing Peacefully - http://kentwest.blogspot.com
