Comments/Problems:

In fact I was surprised, how well this install ran, excellent work, folks!

Install tasks:
The "desktop" task installs, if the installation is started the classic way 
via BIOS from CD. But it does not install, if the CD is started with the new 
win32-loader mechanism from Windows ("XP SP2 spanish" in my case).
An "aptitude install kde kdm" solved it.

Clock/timezone setup:
I chose spanish localization, but the options for Carribean or even other 
countries others than European did not show up in the install with 
win32-loader.

Install boot loader:
The dialogue asked me, if grub should be installed in the (hd0) disk, I said 
no, "please install grub in (hd0,1)", but the MBR of the disk has been 
overwritten.
I thought the initial bootloader would be left untouched, but no.

The official builds have been modifying win32-loader.ini as specified
for quite a while now, so I'm marking this bug fixed.
