Comments/Problems:
In fact I was surprised, how well this install ran, excellent work, folks!
Install tasks:
The "desktop" task installs, if the installation is started the classic way
via BIOS from CD. But it does not install, if the CD is started with the new
win32-loader mechanism from Windows ("XP SP2 spanish" in my case).
An "aptitude install kde kdm" solved it.
Clock/timezone setup:
I chose spanish localization, but the options for Carribean or even other
countries others than European did not show up in the install with
win32-loader.
Install boot loader:
The dialogue asked me, if grub should be installed in the (hd0) disk, I said
no, "please install grub in (hd0,1)", but the MBR of the disk has been
overwritten.
I thought the initial bootloader would be left untouched, but no.
