As a volunteer at a computer recycling centre I see a variety of laptops
- though most are older models.
The problem with relying on the linux laptops site is that information
for some machines has changed over time, and quite a few of the machines
are running a distro other than Debian -- which is a tragedy since
Debian runs so well on my own notebook ;-)
I'll see what I can do about training a few other volunteers here to
install Debian on notebooks. If I can get other to volunteer they'll
probably have a minimum of Linux-knowledge, so I'll probably have them
do write ups in Open Office/Conglomerate, then convert it to XML.

As the debian installer evolvs, I would recomend installing sarge with
full cd-s and debian installer (a new version will be released at the
end of this month). Maybe setting an apt-proxy or a mirror would be a
good thing....
Autodetection goes very smooth with di, so less configuration is needed.
OTOH, if you use a broken d-i image then your little apprentices will be
frustrated and will drop Debian at once.
