Comments/Problems:
The first time, I tried to install to unstable. This didn't work
because of some subtle dependency issue, I think, which I could resolve
from the command line but couldn't restart the install from where it
left off.
Okay, I was trying to do stuff with unstable, that's obviously a bad
idea. Try testing again. Tried to use the 2.6.3 kernel. At this
particular time, the 2.6.3 PCMCIA packages had not migrated to testing
yet, so this too failed (this was particularly annoying because this is
a desktop--no PCMCIA at all). I tried again with something where
PCMCIA did exist, and that worked great.
BTW, kudos. The installer scared me the first time because it wasn't
asking any questions all of a sudden.
