I'd be curious to hear if your system hangs on one of the first screens
with a bf24 or Sarge install. I had a lot of trouble with this.

Also, it's too late for Sanjay, but after a couple of weeks of playing
around with this, I would suggest that anyone who wants to install
Debian and has enough bandwidth to download 7 cds might want to just do
a net install, which you can do with just the first CD. The stuff on the
remaining CDs becomes outdated pretty quick anyhow.
