1) If you use the sarge installer, be sure you have rc2. rc1 made many
problems on my Sparcs.

2) Practically speaking, if your purpose is to run Debian and not to
beta-test the installer, it is better to install woody and then to
upgrade.

3) What about network booting? This is not a f...ing PC, you have
network booting and it works fine without the need to burn a CD for
each test.
