Is the "small CD" the netinst? I tried several times to install Lenny
using the netinst CD and had problems like those you describe. After a
couple of retries, I just downloaded the first CD
(debian-500-i386-CD-1.iso) and installation went to completion.
This sort of issue with the netinst CD has been encountered by other
folks:
