Graphical installation on Acer 450 Travelmate

[Wayne Gemmell <wayneg@ananzi.co.za>]

Hi all, I just bought an Acer Travelmate 450 and I would like to install 
Debian on it. I've installed Woody a few times but the install interface 
doesn't fit on the screen. I'm missing the section at the bottom where all 
the tabs are situated. On previous DedRat installations there was a text 
installation option but I don't see any such thing on the installation 
options/help. Is there a useful howto or link to help me get through this as 
painlessly as possible. 

Regards
