Comments/Problems:
The install went well, the problem I had is with network configuration : I
couldn't skip the ethernet card configuration, so I had to configure it,
which was not needed in my case (ADSL Ethernet modem). The settings for
the default gateway the DNS server has been a problem : I put a default
gateway and a DNS server, which then conflicted with my provider's DNS. I
had to remove it in /etc/resolv.conf and to remove the default gateway in
/etc/network/interfaces before continuing. I think that the network card
configuration should be optional, and it would be great to be able to run
pppoeconf automatically (I had to launch it by hand).
I was also confused with pcmcia, since as I remember from my woody
install, I had the choice of removing it, which wasn't the case in sarge.
I had problems with tasksel : after moving the arrow (left or right), the
selection was on finish and in the menu. Then, pressing return or space
exits instead of selecting the package. I then relaunched tasksel and
avoided the problem, but it is not convenient : it would probably not be
difficult to ask the user to confirm quitting.
Apart from this, I really enjoyed the new installer.

The issue of pcmcia-cs getting installed even if not needed is known
and is fixed in the daily builds. The other problems you mentioned
have been assigned to the appropriate packages.
Thank you for your installation report.
