Hi Geert, Thanks for your response - I hope the installation report is useful to someone.
I'm replying off-bug because I'm not sure any of the following is relevant/useful - feel free to add in if you wish.

There was only one core available in /proc/cpuinfo until I installed the SMP flavoured 2.6.16 kernel (is this a dummy image or are you talking about changes in unstable/post-2.6.16?). > > > Something else: > > Debian-installer can resize NTFS partitions ( no need for an extra > piece of software ) Just select the partition, select the size > and enter the new desired size. Thanks, I was aware of this but I've yet to have any success using it. I suspect running chkdsk/f on the NTFS partition fixes the parted in Debian aswell .. but since it was significantly older than the parted in the gparted livecd the last time I tried it and failed I got in the habit of using gparted. I'll give it another shot the next time. > > > Have fun with you Debian GNU/Linux computer system. Thanks! And well done on the Debian etch installer so far - overall it is working very well.
