Package: debian-installer
Version: Lenny (tester)

I got up to the grub installation stage. I couldn't remember the drive it had 
been working on (and why didn't it have that drive as the default by now?? I'd 
just finished the software downloading and installations).  So I selected 'go 
back' and went up the partitioning stage again to look. Once the drive 
structures came up and I had the drive name, I selected 'go back' and then went 
back down to 'grub' stage. But instead it then loaded Partitioner again.

Everytime I try and select a different stage, it instead just loads the 
partitioner.

Okay, fine, so in partitioner I select 'undo partition changes', but that 
doesn't fix the problem. Next time I'm sent back into Partitioner I select the 
other option to continue to next step with changes and in next step wherein it 
is asking 'are you sure? This will write a new partition table' I select 'No', 
but this too doesn't get me out of partitioner and back to the stage I was on 
before.

What is left to try?  Someone on IRC suggested that I could continue forward 
with the partition step and it would ask if I wanted to continue with a dirty 
partition/install and it wouldn't go through all the software downloading and 
installing again.  So I tried that by selecting 'yes write the new partition 
table' and it then went straight to re-formating the drive.  Arrrgh!!!
