Anyone Use the New Riders Book/CD?

[reallocate@mindspring.com]

Just curious if anyone has succesfully installed Debian using the CD
that comes with the recent New Riders "Debian/GNU Linux" book? Booting
from the CD, my install fails at the "Install Operating System Kernel
and Modules" point.  The install program seems to want to load a laptop
kernel, which apparently is not on the CD.

Also noticed that the standard Debian install package comes on 2 CD's,
while the New Riders book has only a single CD.  Is anything missing?
