I am trying a http install.
I donīt have any logs from the serving machine as it is not under my control
and the admins couldnīt be bothered.
I will try to do a http-install on my own network with a CD. I will return
with the logs if unsuccessful.
Thank you for your time.

It is a Sony Vaio Z505SX
Good hardware if you donīt use Linux. I have downloaded a X-server for the
neomagic256AV chipset but havenīt tried it yet. No sound support yet it
seems. And the diskdrive is USB so rawrite fails and Linux canīt mount it :)
The CD is pcmcia based. I havenīt tried to get it working yet.
All in all. Small, light, useless battery, 128MB RAM, 6GB disk (larger in
the new version) and 366 MHz PII. Integrated winmodem (sigh) and Intel
10/100 netchip (yah).
Firewire,Memorystick slot etc.
Excellent portable devstation. I have actually used it as a server one time
when the shipment of the real server got delayed.
Sad thing it is not sold in Sweden. I had to buy it at Fryīs when I visited
a friend in the US.
