Well, I tried yesterday and it was a mixed success. I could install over
HTTP, so the network was OK - which is nice, but I couldn't boot the
install afterwards - which sucks.

I'm not really sure what the remaining problems are, but I'll dig along.
Could be the prep-boot partition setup or the kernel itself - I think
the installation kernel is different from the kernel which is written
on the installation media, right?

But I had the warm fuzzy feeling of progress for a moment ;-)
CU,
Uli
