Thanks for uploading the images - sadly, the Sparc one failed but with a different problem. The 'load installer components from CD-ROM' step fails immediately. I've scraped this out of syslog and it's complaining, as best I can see, about segmentation faults and a missing file.

I've verified the ISO image against the MD5 sum supplied, verified the disk on burining, and verified the disk via the installer on the Sparc box - so I think the media is okay. Is this just a misbuild/package issue with the current image? The prior image got much further than this before falling over with the Vim dependancy problem. Again, thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this... I'm more than happy to help out if there's something I can do my end (admittedly, I've never been involved in Debian builds before so probably not too much I can offer beyond testing).
