Comments/Problems:
I am having problems getting the stable distro to install. My network card is detected and works fine (gets a lease from DHCP, etc.). I can select a Debian mirror with no problem. I also proceed to select "stable" for distribution type; however, I get an error saying that the installer can't get installation files from the mirror. However, if I select "testing" or "unstable" the installer proceeds to the disk partitioning phase without a problem.
It would appear that "stable" installation has been disabled in the Beta 2 installer. Is this the case, or is there an actual bug involved?
Otherwise, the Beta 2 installer is *perfect* on my machine. You guys are doing a *fantastic* job. Keep plugging away, this installer is probably "ready for prime time." :-D
