Ok.  So after talking about Debian at the meeting, I went home and tried
to install sarge on my laptop.  No go.  I got the base system installed,
but on first boot it tries to go to X.  Drivers are obviously messed up on
the Nvidia based box and I get a disconcerting looking fuzzy screen.

Worse, I can't figure out how to continue the install w/out X.  It is like
the bad old days all over again.  At least in the bad old day X was an
advanced feature and you could always get a working command line based
system.  Right now that doesn't seem to be the case with sarge...

If somebody knows more about the new Debian install system, your advice is
appreciated.

I'm also pulling down the FC2 iso's.  Are all 4 required to install a base
system?
