Comments/Problems:
I found that the partition making was somewhat surprising (I did it
manually). I don't know why, but it made me stop so that I could
figure out what was going on. This is not a big problem, however.
I was quite satisfied with this version of the installer (and the
previous, though I don't think I filled in an install report for
that). I had to do this install in a great hurry -- my firewall
machine killed two of its hard disks and I needed a new firewall
quickly. debian-installer totally failed to make my day worse.
