Comments/Problems:
Things went pretty well at first, thanks for your great work.
A couple of issues cropped up however.

 [bug] kernel does not fully support TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-C2202

 This may be specific to the d-i kernel; I have never noticed this problem
 since completing the installation via a 2.4 kernel and then upgrading to
 2.6.16. Oh, the problem:

 I was unable to install a 2.6 kernel directly with the 'install' boot item.
 It would repeatedly fail during installation of the base system with the error

   hdc command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekCompleteError} 
{IllegalLengthIndication LastFailedSense=0x05 }
   ide: failed opcode was: unknown
   end-request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 3880
   Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 970

 This would happen at different times during base installation. The status
 would always be 0x51 but the sectore would change.

 On noticing the failure I went into the shell on VT2 and tried manually
 mounting. I was able to get the cdrom to remount with:

   umount /cdrom
   mount -t iso9660 -oro /dev/cdrom/cdrom0 /cdrom
   ls /cdrom

 On some of the umount/mount cycles I noticed that the 'etch' directory
 was missing from /cdrom/dists/, but then it would return after another
 umount/mount cycle.

 I kept plugging away at this until the system locked up completely
 and I had to abort, after about 3 or 4 cycles.



 [wishlist]
 Please consider always displaying the ESSID during wireless network config.

 I had a small network glitch; I have a wireless router that does not broadcast
 the ESSID, but a neighbour has one which does broadcast and the installer
 latched on to that by default. I didn't want to suck up his bandwidth, so
 this wasn't an appropriate default.

 Causing the installer to Go Back out of this step and start it again caused
 it to do the Right Thing, ie lowered the priority threshold enough so d-i
 asked me for the correct ESSID to use. But I think it would be better if
 d-i explained which ESSID it found and then always asked if that is the
 correct one to use. In the usual case it is just one extra 'ok' from the
 end user, and it allows correct handling of unusual cases.
