I launched the installer from the cd, the normal way (without specifying any option). It launched perfectly ;-), seemed to detect the hardware very well. I've choosen my language and keyboard , but when I had to format my partition, with cfdisk, this one had problems with special characters, such as accents , "ç" and so on. An english version of cfdisk showhs those options : ######################################################### [Bootable] [ Delete ] [ Help ] [Maximize] [ Print ] [ Quit ] [ Type ] [ Units ] ######################################################### But in french, Bootable is translated amorçable , and this word needs a special character so the output was [amor ], and sometinmes the option was empty, like [] . I think there is (was ) a problem with the encoding of the characters (UTF-8 or anything like that). Of course this is not a critical bug, but for thos who will "discover" Debian , in french , this may be annoying. I hope that fixing this bug will not take too much time, and that the stable version of the sarge will be released soon.
