Make sure you read the installation documentation and look through the mailing list archives so you don't get too many flames from people. Are you installing via CD or over the net. I installed the 2.1r4 release via CDs. I then pointed my /etc/apt/sources.list file at my potato mirror in Australia and did an "apt-get update" followed by an "apt-get dist-upgrade" to upgrade to 2.2 (aka potato). I had to upgrade the kernel manually by doing "apt-get install kernel-image-2.2.14". I regularly do an "apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade" to get the latest packages and fixes.
