A friend of mine just let me use an external CD-Drive with the netboot image. This is already the third time, i am restarting the installation process, due to my false assumptions about the intelligence within the installer. The last time, i was quite happy until i came to notice, that partitions were not aligned with physical sector boundaries, which i assumed would be elementary best practice. But apart from losing some of my illusions the hard way, all is well. A big thank you to all the crowd offering suggestions and encouragement. so long, DdB
