This one?

_Description: No network interfaces detected
 No network interfaces were found. The installation
 system was unable to find a network device.
 .
 You may need to load a specific module for your network card, if you have
 one. For this, go back to the network hardware detection step.

Colin, how shall we go about getting netcfg to continue gracefully if there
is no network interface available?  This should probably be the case for
(CD) installation as well, no?
