I'm not sure what your first question means, but I think the answer is yes.
My images are on hda3 in the tmp directory and that's what I specify
after booting from a CD with the first disk image and using "linux
askmethod".

I tried a text install today and it worked, but came up in text mode after
the install and system-config-display failed with symptoms similar to
the failure during the install.  I can send the X log to you if you want.
The tail of it is pasted below.

Thanks...
