Comments/Problems:
Initially I had had the idea to use the very small partition /dev/hda1 as a
root
(and /dev/hda7 as /tmp), but it turned out to be too small! Thus it was
decided
to use hda7 as root to avoid repartitionning (will do it later).
By the way, the idea was proper for installation of woody.
After using hda7 as a root, installation process went very smoothly.
What is my feeling, debian should also offer nice, graphical environment of
installer. Not that this one is bad (personally I like it), but text ui may be
slightly archaic for some users.
Install logs and other status info is available in /var/log/debian-installer/.
