There is no such thing in the torrents. Maybe in the factory tree, once 
the RC is installed.

It certainly proposes an URL (and local directories etc). If there is no 
support for URLs, ie, external sources, then it should be removed from the 
option list.


   Notice that I'm testing this procedure on purpose, because I was told 
   here that it should work. I have created a new 10.1 partition with the 
   idea in mind of testing this thing.


   But it seems it was not true that the procedure was ready. Very 
   dissapointing, I have been waiting months to test this. :-(

The eth0 interface is down at that stage, not even an IP will work - 
unless those entries above makes it initialize the network first.

Nice. But most of the parameters there are undocumented, like the one 
labeled "network".
