Hi Leif!, Happily that is no longer true. If you have some free time, I 
would like you to try installing Debian with the new Sarge installer. It 
is not graphical (why does an installer need to be graphical?, hi,hi..) 
, but it is very good. It is much better than the Woody one. It should 
detect your hardware and your network if you have it.  You can install 
Debian with a few key strokes.

Download the rc-3 version about 100 MB and install the base system 
(without X-xindow) from that. Then you can install the rest of the 
system from the Internet. I have here a recently installed Sarge Debian 
Sarge running inside QEMU to test (a PC emulator running on my Debian 
OS) and I notice it needs 150 MB of hard disk and 24 MB of RAM. That is 
the great thing, you can install it from ugly old hardware to last 
hardware.
