Well, apparently I didn't try -- I guess I've seen those
"Debian-style" help screens so much I don't read them anymore...Sorry
for the presumption....

I'm trying right now and ... it fails in the same way the new Debian
Install does. (I filed Debian Bug  #278753, though it's not the
greatest bug report ever.)

It looks like it's the same problem-- the root file system gets
totally trashed during the package installation. Now I will boot from
the Ubuntu live CD and run fsck just to be absolutely sure.

I don't have any trouble installing Woody on this PC... so it seems
very odd to me.
