Comments/Problems:
I used the pxe netboot[1] method to install with beta3 packages, because
the laptop has no cdrom, and I dont have a usb stick around at the
moment.
Good work overall. The only _error_ was not loading the e1000 network
driver after reboot, which caused the "getting of packages" stage
failure. I also wonder why it had to ask twice for the mirror where
to get debian.
I selected laptop and desktop tasks. noflushd postinstall failed, and afaik
it is depreceated (the laptop-mode patch coming to 2.6.6 supposedly does
a better job).
My major grief is all the complex debconf questions thrown at the
configure phase, such like the ssh setuid keymanager,
"Do you want to entrust pango font managment to defoma?" Heck, not even I
know was yes or no more wise. This is ofcourse not d-i's fault, but
rather the individual packages.
