Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: debian-installer

 - installer refused to start as there was less than 31M free in =/boot= (50M 
partition)
 - I manually cleared out backup files so =/boot= had 34M free and
   restarted the installer, it was happy to proceed
 - installer downloaded *both* the *386* and *generic* kernels, overfilled
   =/boot=, was unable to generate initrd files.
 - only able to boot with *386* kernel until I manually cleared more
   space in =/boot= and regenerated initrd files.
 - NVidia driver only appears to have been made available for *386*
   kernel, my carefully composed dual-screen setup under 7.10 vanished
   and many restarts and reconfigures later, I have a replica of it,
   but only if I boot under *386*.  If I boot into the *generic* kernel,
   it reconfigures X for me to use the vesa driver, which then
   persists if I boot back into the *386* kernel.
