With the care of an intermediate reboot, it worked! thanks Samuel! The 
new kernel made it possible for the installation to complete, it also 
installed Grub correctly and now my machines boots 100% from Hard Disk 
without the need of a floppy :) Very good.

Now I will get back updating all my gnustep sources and see how they 
fare and report!
(NO hurry for Debian packages, they are currently a bit outdated, 
although experimental contains newer stuff, unstable is mercilessly 
outdated)
