I hope you didn't try using dselect (<rant>'cause it must be the most mind-scrambling piece of software ever written</rant>). The (IMvHO) best policy for installing debian is:
- install the basic system (no additional modules, no nothing)
- do *not* use dselect
- install whatever you think you need via apt-get after your basic
system is up and running - optional: build a new kernel from source (I prefer to do so)
Installation always worked for me that way, even on my notebook.
Note: when dealing with Debian you will have to have at least some basic knowledge of how Linux works, because it won't always take you by the hand.

I agree 100%.
Regarding linux on your Fujitso you might try:

Following the Fujitso link, there are 3 links to the s4542 model that should provide information on installing linux.
Information on obtaining Debian can be found at: http://www.debian.org/distrib/
Your best options are to assemble an ISO image of disc 1 with jigdo or to download a 'minimal' cd to install over the internet.
The Debian Installation manual can be found at: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/install
good luck.
