Well I guess that you read that my problems were with the partitioner.  After 
I got everything working, I managed to install something for Mythtv that made 
the drive unbootable. Now I have to start all over, however it probably isn't 
such a bad thing to do a couple of times.

Having read all the pros and cons of where to put /,  has shown me that I 
should be prepared to use a rescue disk.  But I hope it doesn't come to that 
cuz it will involve more hand wringing and annoying messages to the list... 

Lennart, I don't like using Ubuntu, but there is a very good howto for Ubuntu 
Mythtv installs and not for Debian. So using sudo is getting more automatic. 
Since I am not installing a desktop, Gnome doesn't come into focus.

Thanks everyone for the enlightenment.
