I get picture through the VGA port, but only after XP has

defaults to the laptop's screen, and I cannot see enough
of the picture to progress with the installation.

So, it seems I'm stuck with XP, unless someone has a clever
idea?
Live CD + Debootstrap.
Preseed.
FAI.
Ah, that's a useful suggestion. Thanks !

That was 3 separate suggestions. The first is probably the easiest. The others will (probably) require burning custom media.

Oh, right. I googled all three at once, and the page I visited
didn't immediately make clear they were separate.
Anyway, this can come in handy in the future, so thanks
to you too !!
