Comment 1 for bug 254639

And if you don't have Internet access, you can't see any release notes at all? This is braindead all around. If your network card isn't supported, then you can't download the release notes that tell you that your network card isn't supported?

What should happen:

1. Release notes should be included on the CD.
2. During installation, try to download the latest release notes.
3. If you can download them, display them in the installer, with hardware incompatibilities listed prominently (rich text with links would be best)
4. If you can't download them, say so and then display the old notes with a note explaining that they are old and more problems may have been discovered since they were written.
5. Provide a button to try loading them again after connecting a network cable.
