Obviously you didn't look close enough:

The settings for the B132:

Your graphics card in the C180 is a Visualize-48, I doubt it is supported:

Use the netinstall CDs from here:

the official woody CDs use quite an old kernel that has some problems,
the ones found on the ESIEE website use newer kernels.
