Hi

No, the network cards were not detected. I tried to get them working
with the Madwifi drivers, but didn't succede. In the end I heard the
Debian Lenny (beta) netinstall was able to get them working and that
was quite easy. The cards were detected by the installer and I could
install via them (only a 128 meg USB key needed. It might even be
possible with some old 64M one. The data comes over the internet.)

I haven't been using it a lot lately but I encountered no problems I
didn't cause myself, only the ACPI seems to fail at times (when
shutting down the light stays on)

All in all, I am quite happy with it, although I do miss Yast.

Neil
