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 <return> 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.
