Oh, you have probably been bitten by missing symbols and stuff, this
should be fixed in CVS and I will upload a new anna soon.

With that amount of memory it sure isn't lack of space that's the
problem. :)

Ah, you're misunderstanding! The udebs are only used by the installer
and they are supposed to be in the ramdisk! Loading stuff from CD or Net
to set up the installer is exactly what anna does by installing udebs.
There's a udeb for fdisk for example, there's one for mkfs.ext2, every
menu item is a udeb. What you *should* have seen after anna had finished
running, would have been something like this:

(except that the default tag would be at the "Detect hard drives..."
step).

There's paging code in CVS, so it shouldn't be a huge problem, and in
more advanced frontends (like slang and newt) these selections are
scrollable.
I hope that made sense. :)
