possible. Since I use Debian branches almost exclusively, this could haunt me
a bit if I inadvertently hit that particular partitioning scheme without
noticing. Finding out that there's a space issue only _after_ downloading
500+ megs of packages is, how
to
install the package-groups that are listed in the installer itself.
A subsequent re-install, setting it up all on one partition ("Beginner"
partitioning choice), was a complete success.

Hello Carlos,
If you want to learn Debian you may want to start with the stable
distribution :) AFAICT, the new install system won't be ready for
a while yet.
Do you already have a stable ( aka Potato ) system installed?
You could test the new system in a chroot environment, if you
have some d
e files on the CDROM.
Keep up the good work.
Rob.
