Use the ncurses-mode "traditional Debian" installer disc instead of the

have / and /home formatted as XFS, which meant that I had to make a
/boot in ext2 format for GRUB to work. The ncurses-based partitioner
worked like a charm.
I tend to shy away from GUI installers unless they have a PROVEN track
record of working (such as SuSE's YaST setup tool.) Text-mode installers
tend not to goof up so much.
Sounds like good advice. The GUI also has a lot of overhead and that
really slows things down.
