http://volatile.debian.net/ should solve these kinds of problems to some extend (at least that's how I understand the idea behind volatile) As for the installer I think I remember some discussion of releasing an updated installer with added drivers for sarge (as d-i makes this relatively easy to do, whereas for bootfloppies this was more of a nightmare) -- cobaco (aka Bart Cornelis): Co�rdinator Belgisch Skolelinux team Co�rdinator Nederlandse Skolelinux vertaling
