Comments/Problems: 
 
Using expert mode tried to install 2.6 kernel. Variously.  
 
Tried 2.6.4-1.i686 which downloaded but there were problems loading pcmcia  
modules for this kernel version. This is a PC not inn need of PCMCIA. 
 
Rebooted. tried to install 2.6.4-1.i386. Seemed to work except that it just  
decided to download/install 2.4.24 instead. 
 
Chose normal install. Chose to just boot to base system, not choosing extra  
packages during install. At root prompt ran 
apt-get install kde 
 
Went off and did its stuff including downloading xfree86 but nothing  
configured. Rather than attempting to configure. Running install again using  
tasksel desktop environment. This completed successfully and workstation very 
pleasant. 
 
Summary : Switching from defaults in install seems to break it. I particularly 
wanted to install 2.6.x kernel 
 
Thanks for a great distribution
