The handbook will guide you through doing an install manually. I never used the installer myself. I found I had no trouble at all with the process outlined in the handbook. Basically, you use fdisk to set up the partitions the way you want them, then you can set up the filesystems, format the partitions and go from there. Let me know if you have any questions.
