Sorry for late response:

Tested with a daily build netinst cd from 05. Okt. 2007, this bug is still open!

On a machine without network hardware I am unable to

- detect network hardware (ok, that's not a problem, that's fact)
- configure network
- choose timezone
- set hostname

So this bug should be reopened!

Feel free to ask for detailed information if needed.

And:
what about the problem with the corrupted apt-sources.list I reported in this bug, too?

Do you need help?

Holger
