As with most sw development things have moved on. If you feel adventureous
enough to give it another try, I suggest that you use newer images
available at:

  http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sarge_d-i/i386/current/ 
  (to become the next beta, if I remember correctly) 
or
  http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sid_d-i/i386/current/
  (the bleeding edge)

beta 3 should become available within the next two or three weeks.


If you boot "linux" (or hit enter at the boot prompt) you will get an "as
much automagick as possible" installation.

If you boot "expert", you will get the menu and *many* more questions. This
is the "full control" mode.

For something in between including the menu, you can try
  linux DEBCONF_PRIORITY=medium
which is my favourite as well.

Be sure to check out the help available with 'F1' (and other F-keys) at the
boot prompt. 

Also note that you can search the list archive at 
  http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot


Cheers,
Erich
