Although I could boot the installer to the first graphical selection screen, it hung or froze and didn't get any further than this when I selected further options (install, graphical install, graphical expert install etc.). In particular, when I chose graphical expert install (not sure if this happened with other options) , it went to a terminal and ran quickly through several tests/ attempting to booting to installer before freezing afte two lines which said: - freeing unused kernel memory 1328k - freeing unused kernel memory 428k. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
