If you're planning on testing, then you might want to install direct
from the sarge test ISO's, rather than bf24'ing from the stable ISO and
upgrading.  I've just stuck the beta 4 i386 sarge installer up on the
Citylink FTP server:

http://ftp.citylink.co.nz/sarge-i386-netinst.iso

There's more bumpf at:

http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/

I've been using beta 2 of DI for a few machines, it has some wiggyness 
(network sometimes didn't get configured, and the disk partitioner is a 
little counterintuitive to my old eyes), but it's a bit step forwards in 
usability.  Haven't tried beta 4 yet.

Cheers
