Comments/Problems:
Using Etch (40r4a) netinst image ... the 'newt' installer functions as expected (for example, as it typically performs for i386 installs) ... and a functional system was obtained.
But using *any* Lenny installation I cannot using the installer to progress and installation because it does not respond to keyboard input (either in 'newt' or 'text' modes). Key pressed are echoed back to my terminal, but have no effect. :-( 

Regards,
Alan.
