?! What installer are you using? Where exactly did you download it? I wouldn't advise installing sid directly. Install woody (for the cautious) or sarge using debian-installer beta3 (for the brave) and upgrade to sid from there. > I think at that point you're supposed to manually install the OS without > instructions.
