What I've been doing is:
- Make an ext2 file system on a floppy, and copy 1.33.18 to it;
- start installation as usual;
- anwswer the questions on time zone and shadow passwords;
- when it starts looping, I do "telinit 1" on other console,
and in single-user mode I mount the floppy and install 1.33.18 with
"dpkg -i";
- and then just reboot.
When dselect starts, I don't let install anything, since it will try
to get stuff from stable (potato). I simply edit
/etc/apt/sources.list (replacing "stable" with "testing") and then
restart dselect.
Best regards
