General guidance:

- If video is leading (or bleeding) edge, choose text install, as you
  did.  It's just as functional as the GUI, and you will still get a
  GUI-running system.

- Install to ext2 partitions, not (the default) ext3.  The installer
  is a little fragile about that.  You can convert things to ext3
  using these instructions:
