Thanks for the pointer. It led me to a solution:
http://wiki.debian.net/DebianWiki/DebianWiki/WoodyNetinstBaseconfigLoop
The solution given there is a user-friendly script to move
base-config_1.33.17_all.deb out of the way (in
/target/var/cache/apt/archives) while downloading, and install
base-config_1.33.18_all.deb instead. If you're installing from the 'net
on a slow connection, there's plenty of time to do this manually...
I did try to search the debian-user archives and the bug-tracking system
but couldn't find references; says a lot about my searching skills, I
guess.
I've also used Eduard Bloch's raid and LVM "extdisk":
http://people.debian.org/~blade/install/
So now I have an installation of woody with the root fs on LVM. I'll try
root-on-LVM-on-software-RAID next...
Thanks again,
