If you want to install Debian Potato you will probably be stuck with doing
a plain old ext2 installation and then compiling a new kernel and converting
the filesystems by hand. There is documentation for converting the filesystems
on linuxdoc.org (Linux+XFS-HOWTO), but it's no simple procedure and requires
that you have extra disk space for swapping your filesystems around. If you
can deal with installing Woody instead, though, there are installation disks
available at http://www.lwfug.org/debian/.
