Comments/Problems:
With patched udpkg and kbd-chooser, almost everything was alright.
Since everything was included in kernel, no module was installed.
partition hard-drives didn't work, I didn't check if fdisk was installed
since my hard-drive was partitioned.
something strange, the -smp kernel was installed.
and since there is no silo-installer, I need to use my current silo with
extra parameter root=/dev/hda4
But it was a very smooth install !
