Thanks for the pointer. It led me to a solution: http://wiki.debian.net/DebianWiki/DebianWiki/WoodyNetinstBaseconfigLoop The solution given there is a user-friendly script to move base-config_1.33.17_all.deb out of the way (in /target/var/cache/apt/archives) while downloading, and install base-config_1.33.18_all.deb instead. If you're installing from the 'net on a slow connection, there's plenty of time to do this manually... I did try to search the debian-user archives and the bug-tracking system but couldn't find references; says a lot about my searching skills, I guess. I've also used Eduard Bloch's raid and LVM "extdisk": http://people.debian.org/~blade/install/ So now I have an installation of woody with the root fs on LVM. I'll try root-on-LVM-on-software-RAID next...
