Installation Report (resending)
Hello Everybody-
I am sending email from a fresh sid install from pure64 using the 18 Feb 2005
sid-amd64-monolithic.iso installer.
This install was my first to complete using any monolithic image.
The base installation was halted twice when my DSL modem crashed and needed to
be reset. Fortunately, I went back
to the menu and the installer now resumed the install instead of starting over.
The modem crashed at 14% and 17%
and then the installer went to completion. The netcfg broadcast address was
correct during the entire installation.
There are never any crashes except when using D-I. The broadcast address must
be unrelated to the crashes.
Here is the ifconfig after the first crash of the DSL modem.

Here is the current ifconfig after finishing installation and login:

The CDROM ejected and I rebooted using my custom kernel and the network is fine.
This installation was made to my AMD64 ASUS A8V using VIA ide and sata
controller.
The sk98lin ethernet was installed automatically and no manual tweaks made.
Again,
this is my first installation to complete using the monolithic installer.
