I would suggest using Woody for the install, mainly to have access to
more choices of which file system to use. You can use the :
http://people.debian.org/~ieure/netinst/ and choose boot disk option # 3
during boot for ext3/reiserfs support. A regular Woody cd # 3, has
ext3/reiserfs support also.There are Woody iso's for xfs support out
there, don't have a url handy.
