This is really frustrating..
I started with colony 2 and finally I don't have a cdrom in this baby.
So i had to start off with 2 hours of trying to do a pxe netboot.

After getting it straight, the next thing with my ethernet occured.
So, after all, I can't really test the laptop, because officially it's
not supported at all. No DVD/CD Drive (USB is one alternative, if you
have one), only pxe boot...and then no ethernet device for downloading
the packages from a local apache.

Actually I have to work on every install iso, replacing some modules
etc. but this is why we're here. And I know it's a pain, but testing at
least every 2 - 3 days an iso is not painfull.

If it's not installing without cracking it, so it's not working. But for
the fun of it, try to run it with adjustment in the installer etc.

Then you can say, ok this and that is working but without this feature
in the installer or default kernel, no way.
