    'above' ...or was that 'below'?

    I have a lot of sympathy for Knoppix users coming here -- I myself have
    3 systems that were installed via Knoppix because the debian installer
    failed to recognise hardware. I have had _no_ problems migrating to
    standard debian, and think the Knoppix route is excellent.

    That said, I have installed two days ago from the new installer (latest
    net-install build of 12/12/04), and was very impressed. It complained
    several times about missing modules for network interfaces, but
    magically found them when it needed them, and completed perfectly. I'm
    minded to try it out on one of the systems that were previously only
    possible with Knoppix, as an experiment.
