Generating locales... C.UTF-8...cannot open locale definition file `C': No such file or directory dpkg: error processing locales (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 4 Setting up make (3.80-6) ... Errors were encountered while processing: locales E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) trying to figure out how to fix this now. also once the core system was installed, it didn't carry over any of the network configuration. had to manually setup /etc/network/interfaces, and tell it to pre-load e100 module for onboard nic, and configure net manually. also, once base system was up, did an 'apt-get install wmaker', which pulled down most things, but did not pull down or configure xserver-xfree86 for some reason. had to do that manually. very nice work. having an installer that auto-detects hardware was key to me being able to switch from redhat to debian. thank you very much! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

There are much newer versions of the debian installer available, that fix lots of bugs. If you're able to try one and verify that the problems you reported are fixed (or file a new report if not), that would be great.
