Generally speaking, just hit return to most of those confusing questions when doing a CD install. The exception is that on one screen you'll be offered two choices of kernel/modules, one for 32 bit and one for 64. Make sure you pick the right one. If you are not sure which was booted, you could scroll down to 'execute a shell' on the menu and do 'uname -a' (or Alt-F2 if on graphics console). You may also get asked about installing woody or sid; choose woody, which is the first option, so again does the right thing. I've just heard that adding 'cdrom' as a boot option makes some of this confusion go away, but I havn't investigated yet. Richard
