I'll try it asap.
But the partitioner complains about the lack of libslang.so.1; entering
in a console and just symlinking to libslang.so.1-UTF8 solves the
problem.

The error message is precisely:

	cfdisk: error while loading shared libraries: libslang.so.1:
	cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
	di-utils-partitioner's postinst exited with status 256

Yes, trying the installer with vmware crashes not only the virtual
machine but also the whole system, but only using physically the cdrom.
(accessing directly to /dev/cdrom).

Using an iso image of the cd mounted as a cdrom in vmware makes possible
to go on with the installer without hanging the machine.
