[xavier grave]

With debootstrap and knoppix I succesfully installed my debian...
Just a little problem : the ext3 system wasn't installed in the kernel  
except as a module so at reboot I had a kernel panik. I will do a next  
try with an ext2 partition as /

After this I'll recompile a kernel with ext3 and also with the fan  
gestion :-)
