Yes I did that already. The machine didn't boot though because it
installed kernel 2.6.7, not 2.6.8 which includes the 3w-9xxx module.

I can do that probably later today or next week, when I get the machine
installed first.

I once tried using the Finnish with Debian Installer. However, I noticed
that either 10 years of Linux/Unix system administration is not enough
or maybe the translation is bad or maybe Finnish ain't the language to
use with computers because I didn't know how to do the installation in
Finnish. :D
