OK. I just did an armel install on my slug. I only had one significant problem. There was an early question asking what extra components I wanted to install. I chose lvm2-udeb (IIRC) as I like lvm but that resulted in the install hanging at 'loading extra componenets'. It may just have been going incredibly slowly but I left it for a fair while (half an hour?). re-running the install without that option it all went fine, but I didn't get an obvious opportunity to use LVM. Apart from that, and the fact that it took forever, the docs were spot-on and it all went very well.
