debian install menus

[Sean McMahon]

The debian installer manual also says that there is a debian_frontend option
that you can set to text, but this may or may not be supported by this iso.  I
can tell you that the yes/no dialogs seemed to behave differently on my del
laptop then they did on my gateway desktop.  If Shane's suggestions don't work,
you could always choose a non-critical option like the exit option and see if it
really exits when you think you are on the yes option.
