I tried installing it on an external USB disk on my ThinkPad X60 [1] and
installed fine through the graphical install in "normal" mode (i.e. not
expert). Apart from the Intel IPW3945 [2][3], all the rest was (at
least, seeed to be) perfectly configured.
I don't have time for more and extended tests, but at least seems to be
installable.
Thx, bye,

Footnotes:
[1] but without any internal hard disk
[2] the firmware for the new iwl3945 driver is in firmware-iwl,
unfortunately not in stable
[3] I haven't tried the old ipw3945 driver, but since etch-and-half
ships with 2.6.24, no ipw3945-modules- package is available for it
