I propose (if this isn't being worked on already) that d-i ask the user
if he/she wants to set up his/her network connections during
installation instead of assuming so. As can be seen in bug #226495
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=226495>, problems
ensue when this connection can't be established because of driver issues
and such. The Installer could check to see if a base system image is
available on the CD-ROM (or whatever installation medium is being used),
then prompt the user: "Do you want to set up your network connection now?".
This would at least make installation work properly for people in my
case (see above bug).
