Comments/Problems:

Well done dudes, much better than old ones. Now I know this file exists
I'll send you the sparc details too.

Something that throws me every time. Partition the drives then you do
the setup of the partitions (ext2/ext3/swap/leave). It picks up the old
partition type which is usually WinNT. 

A wishlist, why does it ask me if I want ext2/ext3 on a partition of
type swap? It should only be choosing swap/leave alone.

Problem with apt sources config, I use manual setup and it gets the package
files right but then loops back to Edit/Cancel step for configuring
apt.  I just Cancel then manually go to next step (which is select
packages).

Strangess too... I install new version of exim4 but then it asks me to
configure mail server in installer.  It's clever enough to know I have
already done it so it goes to next step.

Install logs and other status info is available in /var/log/debian-installer/.
