The dialog says:

        Please select the partition where your Debian Archive resides.

It should be logical that the system expects to find a proper Debian
directory structure.  It continues to ask:

        Please choose the path inside the harddisk
        filesystem where the Debian Archive resides.

When hitting [enter] (by accepting the default or something) the system
looks for these files [calling choose_archive_dir()]:

Checking /instmnt/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/images-1.44/rescue.bin
Checking /instmnt/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/rescue.bin
Checking /instmnt/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/drivers.tgz

So... Looks like it does the proper thing.

Regards,

	Joey
