The slowness could be due to low memory, which you mentioned in an earlier
message.  How much memory do you have?  If you're using Gnome with little
memory (say, 256MB) you'll be better off using a lighter desktop.  (Like
lxde.)

I haven't tried installing Debian from an existing GNU/Linux installation
but there are instructions at

http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch05s01.html.en#boot-initrd

Don't know where you should put the firmware files but somebody else
might.
