Comments/Problems:
Congratulations, this was a vast improvement over my last debian install,
which was potato.
I booted with two options: linux26 and debconf/priority=medium.
I understand why you've chosen to default to high priority and not
ask, but I think that it is possible to craft an easy to understand
question to allow selection of the debconf priority level without
confusing the target audiance.
The apt configuration gave me the option of stable/testing/unstable
as my distro. Wouldn't it make more sense to use the release codenames
instead? That way I can install sarge now in the test phase, and stay
with sarge once it becomes stable without having to worry about changing
my apt config.
One issue; I was asked if the PCMCIA driver should be enabled three
times (I'm pretty sure it was the same question) during the install.
Each time I said no, as my machine has no PCMCIA slot.
