Comments/Problems:

First I installed with Linux 2.4. The only problem with it was that XFree86 asked me if horizontal and vertical refresh rate are taken from DDC and I answered yes. But values for these rates were set to some generic values. I had to view /var/log/XFree.0.log, read the rates from there and put them in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 manually.

My second install was with Linux 2.6. All went fine until all packages are downloaded and debconf tried to configure xfree86 (XFree86 again, huh?). The installation hangs just after all packages are downloaded and they are started to be configured. The problem was that discover hangs. I installed strace manually and run "strace discover" -- the process hangs while trying to read from /proc/bus/usb/devices. "cat /proc/bus/usb/devices" hangs too. I didn't continue with installation.

Install logs and other status info is available in /var/log/debian-installer/.
